WalkMe DAP – Branding and Styling Checklist

Last Updated January 7, 2026

Purpose

  • Ensure WalkMe DAP feels like a trusted, invisible extension of the application—not an overlay competing with the UI.

1. Brand Strategy & Ownership:

  • DAP positioned as execution support, not training
  • Branding intentionally subtle
  • Owned by Enablement COE / WalkMe Admin
  • Corporate brand applied lightly
  • Tone defined: concise, directive, neutral

2. Global Theme Configuration (Admin Controlled)

  • Location: WalkMe Editor → Theme / Appearance
  • Single global theme defined
  • Primary color used sparingly (headers, CTAs)
  • Neutral backgrounds to avoid UI conflict
  • Button styles standardized
  • Font sizes optimized for speed and readability
  • High-contrast validation completed
  • Control rule: Asset-level overrides are discouraged and governed.

3. Walk-Thru Styling Standards

  • Step layout consistent across Walk-Thrus
  • Button labels standardized (Next, Continue, Finish)
  • Imperative language used (“Select,” “Enter,” “Confirm”)
  • One instruction per step
  • No mixed styles across steps

4. SmartTip Styling Standards

  • Icons standardized
  • Text minimal and scannable
  • Placement consistent for similar actions
  • No overlapping or competing tips
  • Colors do not conflict with application UI

5. ShoutOuts & Notifications

  • Used sparingly and intentionally
  • Message tied to business impact
  • Avoid feature announcements
  • Visual style matches DAP theme

6. Language & Terminology

  • Business process names standardized
  • System codes secondary or omitted
  • Terminology aligned to Learning Arc taxonomy
  • No conflicting guidance across assets

7. Governance & Quality Control

  • DAP design standards documented
  • Templates enforced
  • QA required before production release
  • Periodic usability and consistency audits
