Your presentation or pitch deck is not just about key numbers and critical text, it’s also about proper design and following a hierarchy of information. The design tricks you’ll find below will help you get your main message across, navigate viewers' attention and keep them interested.
There are separate viewer settings for each of the layouts. For example, navigation arrows can be toggled on for the mobile version without being activated for desktop.
There are even more sleek and sophisticated interactions to consider: you can turn video into a sequence of stills that plays on scroll or on hover; create video backgrounds and play on scroll; replace the standard cursor with whatever graphic object you want.
Below, we compare four popular presentation packages: PowerPoint, Keynote, Google Slides and Readymag. Learn about the pros and cons of each package to help find the one that best meets your needs and streamlines the process of creation so you can start turning slide decks into captivating interactive experiences.
First off, you need to decide which device you’re going to use to make your presentation— since some of the most popular tools are fully compatible only with their native environments (and you need to upload program updates manually). Web applications are independent from this condition: they are cloud-based, which means that you can run them right in the browser, regardless of your operating system.
Part of the Microsoft Office suite, PowerPoint is available for both Windows and Mac, though the Windows version is more robust.
A native Mac app, Keynote doesn’t play nicely with other operating systems.
A cloud-based web application that runs in any browser, regardless of the operating system.
An online design tool that runs in most web browsers, except Internet Explorer.
We don't build presentations, we build microsites. Our microsites are built for our international clients and we use them to share our research or strategy projects in granular detail.
I hate the fact that so much B2B work is hidden, poorly shared and rarely seen beyond immediate project teams. Our microsites make the minutiae of our work shareable, while walking clients through the key components of the project.—Tarik Fontenelle, Director, ON ROAD
