I guess something I’ll agree on here is that CEA contracting a UI/UX designer who isn’t that familiar with CEA’s goals and the EA movement might totally miss out on the need for EA being a community to be highlighted more in the website.
But that doesn’t mean a UI/UX designer doesn’t have to try and surface what the most important things to include in a webpage are. A lot of designers create the designs of entire websites, based on talking to users and understanding the organization’s goals. Each section’s copywriting and layout is an important design choice.
Yes, the executives in an organization have a say in the website’s content and design, but that doesn’t mean the UI/UX designer can’t have a say in that.
A related field to UI/UX design is Content Design and Copywriting. Some UI/UX designers do both content design and copywriting too. Wouldn’t you at least say that those choices of what content to include in a website is a content designer or copywriter’s job? (Yes, other people have a say in it, but that doesn’t mean the ideas can’t come from a content designer too.)
