 Service design is a practice that aims to design and deliver holistic, human-centered, and value-driven solutions that consider the needs and expectations of not only the individual users, but also the stakeholders, the employees, the partners, and the society involved in the service. Service design focuses on more than just the user interface or the user experience, but also on the processes, systems, interactions, touchpoints, and channels that enable the service to be delivered and consumed. Service design can help create engaging, connected, and social value-driven solutions that improve the quality, efficiency, and sustainability of the service . References:

: What is Service Design?

Service Design is a design practice that focuses on providing better experiences to users by understanding the context of their needs and how they interact with systems, services, and products. Service Design goes beyond User Experience Design by focusing on more than just individual people, and instead considers the entire ecosystem, including connected and social value-driven solutions. Salesforce provides more information on Service Design here: https://www.salesforce.com/resources/service-design/.

According to the SLDS documentation, icons require a containing element with the class slds-icon_container for accessibility support. If the icon is used without a visible, descriptive label, a title attribute is needed on the containing element. The title should describe the icon. For example:

The title attribute provides a tooltip for the icon when the user hovers over it, and it also helps screen readers to announce the icon’s meaning. The other attributes (href, class, and for) do not provide this functionality.

The designer should describe SLDS styling hooks as custom CSS properties that can easily style base and custom components. Styling hooks are placeholders in the SLDS style sheet that allow developers to customize the look and feel of their Lightning components by using the corresponding CSS custom properties. For example, the developer can change the background color of a button by setting the value of the --slds-c-button-brand-color-background custom property. Styling hooks are especially useful when working with web components and shadow DOM, as they enable component-level customizations without affecting the global styles. Styling hooks also provide consistency and performance benefits, as they leverage the SLDS design tokens and the native browser support for CSS custom properties. References:

The designer should describe the Salesforce Lightning Design System (SLDS) styling hooks as using standard CSS properties to easily style base and custom components. SLDS styling hooks allow developers to quickly and easily apply CSS classes to HTML elements, enabling consistent styling across both base and custom components. This allows developers to quickly and easily apply branding and styling to their Lightning Web Components, without needing to write custom CSS. For more information about SLDS styling hooks, please see the following Salesforce documentation: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/component-library/documentation/lwc/lwc.use_slds_styles_hooks

Inclusive design and accessible design are both important aspects of creating products and services that are usable and enjoyable for everyone, regardless of their abilities, preferences, or contexts. However, they are not the same thing. Inclusive design is a methodology that involves designing with and for people who have a range of diverse needs and experiences. Inclusive design aims to create solutions that are not only accessible, but also equitable, respectful, and empowering for all users12. Accessible design is based on guidelines that help ensure that products and services can be perceived, understood, operated, and interacted with by people with disabilities. Accessible design follows standards such as the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), which provide technical specifications and best practices for making web content accessible34. Inclusive design and accessible design are not mutually exclusive, but rather complementary. Inclusive design can help inform accessible design by providing insights and feedback from diverse users and stakeholders. Accessible design can help support inclusive design by providing a baseline of quality and compliance for products and services. By applying both inclusive design and accessible design, UX designers can create more inclusive, accessible, and delightful experiences for everyone. References: Inclusive Design & Accessibility – Salesforce Designer – Medium, Product Accessibility and Inclusive Design - Salesforce.com, Learn the Elements of an Accessible Webpage Unit | Salesforce Trailhead, How Can Tech Be More Inclusive?

The principle that would represent Cloud Kicks’ company strategy is prioritizing engagement over number of impressions. This principle is based on the intention mindset of Relationship Design, which means engaging with clear purpose and focusing on the quality of interactions rather than the quantity1. Reframing products in terms of outputs over outcomes (A) is not a Relationship Design principle, as it does not consider the value or impact of the products for the customers. Highlighting product benefits over uncovering customer needs © is also not a Relationship Design principle, as it does not show empathy or understanding of the customers’ problems or goals. References:

A design thinking approach is a human-centered method for solving complex problems and creating innovative solutions. It involves understanding the needs and desires of the users, generating and testing multiple ideas, and iterating on the feedback and results. A design thinking approach can be divided into two types of thinking: divergent and convergent. Divergent thinking is the process of generating many possible solutions to a problem without judging or filtering them. It encourages creativity, exploration, and experimentation. Convergent thinking is the process of evaluating, selecting, and refining the best solution to a problem. It involves analysis, logic, and criteria. Divergent and convergent thinking are complementary and cyclical. They help the designer to expand the solution space and then narrow it down to the most feasible and desirable option. By using both types of thinking, the designer can encourage more creative problem-solving and avoid premature convergence or fixation on a single idea. Therefore, the best approach combination for the UX Designer at Cloud Kicks is divergent and convergent thinking. References: Trailhead: Design Thinking, Trailhead: Salesforce User Experience Designer Certification Prep, Divergent and Convergent Design Thinking

The tool to install that the UX Designer needs is the Sketch plugin. This plugin allows the designer to quickly mock up Salesforce user interface experiences using a collection of prebuilt components, such as base components, tokens, design patterns, and more. The plugin also provides access to the Salesforce Lightning resources for their design and prototype, such as icons, fonts, colors, and images. The plugin is compatible with Sketch, a popular design tool for creating user interfaces.

 The best way to apply branding to a Salesforce org using Lightning Experience is to create a custom theme in Themes and Branding. Themes and Branding is a feature that allows the administrator to customize the look and feel of Salesforce to match the branding of the organization. The administrator can add logos, default images, and colors to the theme. The administrator can also choose one of the built-in Salesforce themes, or create their own custom themes with just a few clicks. To create a custom theme, from Setup, enter Themes and Branding in the Quick Find box, then select Themes and Branding. Click New Theme and upload the logo, brand colors, and images that follow the company design guidelines. The administrator can also preview and activate the theme for the entire org 1. References: [Brand Your Org in Lightning Experience] (https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.brand_your_org_in_lightning_experience.htm &language=en_US&type=5)

The Path feature that should be used to add onboarding value for the sales representatives is the Key fields component. The Key fields component allows the admin to specify up to five fields that are important or required for each stage of the Path. The sales reps can see and edit these fields directly from the Path, without scrolling through the record page. This helps to guide the reps on what information they need to gather or update at each stage, and ensures data quality and completeness. The Key fields component can also be used to enforce validation rules or required fields, by preventing the reps from moving to the next stage until they fill out the necessary fields. References:
