What Makes a Presentation Slide Great?
A good presentation slide is clear, concise, and visually appealing. It complements the speaker’s message rather than acting as a script. Each slide should focus on one key idea using minimal text, such as bullet points or short phrases, to avoid overwhelming the audience.
Using readable fonts, appropriate sizes, and high-contrast colors ensures clarity, while a consistent design theme enhances professionalism. Including relevant, high-quality visuals such as images, graphs and charts simplifies complex information.
The slides should follow a logical flow to guide the audience smoothly. Engaging content, such as thought-provoking questions or compelling statistics, helps maintain interest.

Here are a few of the best presentation slide ideas based on topic material, like the ones you’re regularly using. And if you're racing against the clock, tap into Visme's AI presentation maker to create eye-catching presentations in seconds. Just input your prompt, provide more context, select your preferred style and watch the tool generate your slides. Customize every part of your presentation with our intuitive editor.
1. Meeting Agenda Template
Sick of seeing team members nod off or lose focus during your team meetings?
Put together your meeting agenda ahead of time using these presentation slides to help keep your team engaged and informed throughout.
This template comes with 15 premade presentation slides that cover everything from project management to charts showing performance and overall meeting objectives. Whatever you need to share in your meeting, you can find in this theme.
Plus, you can completely customize these business slides to match your company colors directly in Visme!
Best Practice: Keep your meeting agenda tight. Cut anything that could derail the focus or take up too much time.
As Hilda Nkor, the CEO of HNC Professional Services, puts it “Avoid overwhelming the audience with too much information. Define the one key objective of your presentation and stick to it:
- Are you seeking approval?
- Are you presenting data for informed decision-making?
- Is your goal to inform and educate?

2. Company Ethics Presentation Template
Don’t let your ethics decks sit unread in a shared drive. Instead, create a presentation with slides that are nice to look at and share the information clearly. These 17 slides give HR and operations leads a design foundation for employees actually to sit through.
The design uses a law firm example, which you can swap for your own company in no time. Try doing it with the Edit with AI feature; you just need to answer a few prompt questions.
The structure runs on five values: transparency, integrity, trustworthiness, lawfulness and accountability. Each one gets a section slide followed by a content slide, so adding a sixth value means duplicating that pair and swapping the icon.
Best Practice: Keep one value per pair and resist stacking three onto a single slide. The repetition is what makes the deck memorable in a training session.
Publish it as a shareable link rather than a PDF attachment, then check Visme Analytics to see who has opened it. That gives you a credible record without having to confirm with the recipient.
3. Company Overview Template
Agency leads and internal project owners need a close-out deck that answers one question: Did it work? These slides help answer that question by covering the project goal, implementation timeline, target versus outcome and budget versus expenditure.
The two comparison tables make it easy and fast to understand the data. But you can swap them for bar charts if your audience responds better to that type of data visualization. Use the chart editor to choose the colors, style and animation settings.
Best Practice: Share your results honestly, including the targets you missed. For example, the reach figure in the example deck lands under target while email opens land over, and that mix is what makes a report credible.
4. Project Status Report Template
When it comes to project management, you could always just send over a boring email or report update, but a better way would be to put together a presentation updating your team and/or your supervisors on the status of the project and the remaining timeline.
This presentation theme comes with 14 different slides to help you put together a status report that covers all aspects of your project: the various phases and how far along each one is, the timeline for your project, a project health card and more.
You can also gain even more inspiration for your project timeline slides from these timeline infographic ideas.
Best Practice: Status meetings are at the heart of project management, but they can boost productivity or derail your team's focus. Use your project status presentation to add purpose and structure to your meetings so everyone's on the same page.
5. Business Annual Report Template
Want to show your boss how the company is doing? Or share how your team’s efforts have affected the bottom line? Put together a corporate presentation that shows your business’s results over the year.
While this presentation template comes with a fun geometric accent pattern, you’re able to swap out any of these shapes for ones that more accurately represent your business or your message right in Visme’s design dashboard.
Working on this design with your team? Effectively manage the process with Visme’s workflow management tool. You can assign different sections of the slide to your team members to work on set deadlines, manage progress, track corrections and more.
Best Practice: Always assign roles when you’re creating an annual report. It can be a big task involving many team members, so earlier on, decide who is responsible for what, who has the final say and what your internal and external deadlines will be.
6. Business Plan Template
Are you starting a new business? You might be looking for investors, or perhaps you want to pitch the idea to a potential cofounder. You need to deploy the best presentation slides possible.
You can use this theme to put together a polished business plan presentation that showcases your business idea, the market summary, the industry opportunities and more.
You can also use Visme’s color themes to find the perfect color scheme for your presentation and your upcoming business. After all, your brand colors can say a lot about your business.
Best Practice: Don't skip sections or details in your business plan. Chase Kaminsky shares, "Too many entrepreneurs pour their heart and soul into building a successful business but don't have a clear plan for what happens next. That's what your business plan is for."

7. Product Development Portfolio Presentation Template
Consultants, engineers and freelancers pitching themselves need more than a resume. These 10 slides open with a name and specialization, then run through core skills, services and four project case studies to show what you can do.
The project slides showcase the results you achieve with your work. Each slide pairs a short description with a hard result, using numbers and stats. Replace the placeholder figures with your own numbers and include all the benefits you can bring to the table. Get even more personal and include the blockers you surpassed while working on each project.
Best Practice: Record a narrated version with Presenter Studio and send the link with your application or proposal. That way, hiring managers and prospective clients can choose how they prefer to scan and absorb your content.
8. Product Presentation Template
Whether you’re launching a new product or sharing the features of an already existing one, you can show off your product through a presentation with nice slides.
You can share your presentation on social media, on your website or at a large company event to announce it to your audience. Include bright, high-quality photos of your product and a list of its best features to really highlight your new release.
9. Visual Brand Identity Template
There are many different ways to create a brand style guide for your business. One great way is with a presentation.
These presentation example slides allow you to seamlessly input your fonts, colors and other visual guidelines into a single presentation so that you can easily share your brand with the designers, marketers and other members of your team.
Best Practice: When crafting a brand identity, conduct a detailed audience and competitor research, and present these findings in your presentation. This provides a comprehensive overview of why you chose your brand identity and highlights opportunities for improvement.
10. Special Business Presentation Template
These presentation slides can help you easily put together a business introduction template for a conference or networking event.
Just click above to edit in Visme, switch out your background with one of the thousands of options in our photo library, add in your own key facts, vision and values and download!
If you’re running out of ideas for your presentation, you can use Visme’s Writer AI to produce high-quality drafts, proofread your content or adjust its tone.
Best Practice: When you’re putting together a business presentation, don’t forget to add elements of storytelling. This is a key technique used by most TED-speakers and it’s what makes them so memorable.
11. Industry Trends Template
Put together a presentation to showcase upcoming trends in your industry. You can leave the patterns and colors the way they are in these existing presentation slides, or you can add in your own brand colors or product colors.
Understanding developing trends in your industry each year is important so that you know where your business should focus its efforts.
Sharing a presentation with your team is a great way to stay ahead of the curve.
Best Practice: When designing your industry trends presentation, be sure to use negative space on most slides to make your findings easy on the reader's eyes.
“Just as it would be difficult to appreciate music if it wasn’t for silence, negative space in graphic design provides the eye with a place to “rest” between important information.”
Daniela Verduga
Graphic Designer at Visme
12. Services Template
Use these slide presentation examples to showcase your services and what you can offer your clients/customers. If you have a visual business, a presentation is an excellent way to highlight your work and show it off to prospective leads.
Swap out each photo in the example slides with photos of your work, update the fonts to match your brand voice (or upload your brand fonts) and add in the services you offer.
Pro Tip: Embed your Visme presentation on your website for your audience to check out. This allows potential clients can go through your presentation at their own pace as they learn more about your services.13. Slideshow Template
A slideshow presentation is a great way for you to showcase photos of your work alongside your service offerings. This template even includes social media icons on the last page so that viewers know how to find the business online.
Again, you’ll want to swap out all of the photos with your own work, but this presentation theme is a great way to get started.
14. How To Presentation Template
Are you presenting a tutorial or step-by-step guide on how to do something? Using example slides to put together your content is a great idea.
It’s a disservice to your company and your customer to assume that everyone automatically knows how to use your product or service. Showing your audience exactly what to do is essential to your customer service strategy.
Spice up your presentation by adding stunning, high-resolution images and stock photos, videos, icons, widgets and other design elements.
Didn’t find any photos that caught your eye? We’ve got you. Use Visme’s AI image generator to whip up captivating images that match your presentation theme and design.
Even if you have photos that need editing, use Visme's AI Edit tools to touch up, unblur, upscale, erase and replace images with one click.
15. Research Results Presentation Template
Survey data is more useful when you share it with others. Furthermore, you’ll want them to be able to understand it. These 16 slides walk an audience from method to recommendation, using an education study as the example. You’ll just need to swap the subject for your own customer or market research. The Edit with AI feature will help with that and fast.
Remember to follow the sequence: Overview and description first, then findings, then recommendations. Use charts to visualize the data, like a grouped bar chart for responses split by segment or a donut for proportional results.
Best Practice: Keep the credits slide to the end, name your data source and share the sample size. Readers will trust a survey more when they can see the facts and details.
16. Company Overview Presentation Template
Utilize these beautifully designed presentation slides to create a brief overview of your company and its offerings.
Having a readily available presentation overview of your company is a great idea for when you’re pitching investors, journalists for coverage and more. You don’t need to recreate a presentation each time. Instead, put together a visually appealing and informative one-size-fits-all overview.
You can add in your own photos or choose from Visme’s photo library to keep the same beautifully minimalistic appeal.
Finance Presentation Slides
When sharing financial information, it’s always helpful to put together some kind of visual aid. This can be used to further emphasize your content, whether it’s about going over budget, showing off exciting revenue increases and more.
Check out these finance slide presentation examples to find the perfect template for your goals.
17. Financial Report Template
Use this template to put together a presentation that goes over your company’s expenses, sales, profits and more.
The built-in data visualization options allow you to showcase your point with more than just numbers. Add in a table of contents to keep your report organized and cohesive, letting your team know exactly what information they’ll find inside.
18. Blockchain Presentation Template
Fintech teams and financial analysts often have to explain technical topics to an audience that doesn't share the vocabulary. These 16 slides do just that, but for blockchain. The flow starts with a simple definition and moves to a six-step transfer flow. Finally, it takes the reader through four blockchain types with the traits of each.
The pattern transfers to any finance topic that needs unpacking, from open banking to algorithmic trading. Keep the section slides and swap in your own information.
The closing slide holds two source buttons. Link them to the reports you cited so anyone reviewing your claims can reference them.
19. Map Presentation Template
It’s important to know where it makes the most sense to market your product geographically. Showcase sales and overall company growth and profitability by location.
Knowing your revenue based on geographic location is essential for a global company, and this presentation template is perfect for the job.

When it comes to sales and marketing for your company, there is a lot of data and information that can be represented visually. Creating sales and marketing presentations helps with keeping your team on the right track, but can also be a great way to make a pitch.
Learn more about creating essential sales and marketing presentations with these templates.
20. Visualization for Sales and Marketing Template
When you’re putting together a sales and marketing plan, you have to present it to your boss for approval, then to your team for implementation.

Having a presentation to refer back to allow your team to ensure they’re implementing the strategies properly.

Pro Tip: End your presentation with a Thank You page and always be sure to thank your audience for listening, regardless of whether it’s a group at a conference or just your marketing team.24. Sales Report Template
Your sales team should be regularly providing insight on how much revenue the company is generating. And a great way to do that is through a sales report presentation or slideshow.
It’s important to stay informed of sales growth throughout the year. Share graphs of sales quarter-over-quarter or year-over-year to see where the company/sales team needs to improve.
25. Press Release Template
Don’t just write a boring old press release to send out to journalists and media publications. Instead, create an interactive press release showcasing your launch.
A presentation press release will help your business stand out from the dry press releases most publications receive, offering even more incentive for them to highlight your business and its products/services.
Add your own brand touches, voice and launch information, then publish it as a link and send it to your media list.
26. Social Media Report Template
Sharing results of any marketing strategy is always essential. This is how you keep your team updated on any strategies that are working, and any strategies that need some adapting.
This presentation theme is a great way to share your current strategy and results. Input your platforms, your strategies and your metrics before presenting it to your team. Customize the presentation slides so that they cater perfectly to your company’s strategy.

If you’re not sure which fonts to use, our roundup of the 26 Best Fonts for Presentations can help you find clean, professional options that suit your message and style.
Training/L&D Presentation Slides
Training and onboarding run on presentations, but training time is tighter than it used to be. According to the Association for Talent Development, formal learning fell to13.7 hours per employee in 2024, down from 17.4 the year before. That leaves less room for a session that doesn't land.
Most training decks fail the same way: too much text, not enough shown. Our design team sees it all the time.
“Consider who your audience is before designing a presentation. A picture speaks a thousand words; instead of putting a bunch of text to explain your content, use graphics, icons, and data to support your words.”

So, whether you're rolling out new software, walking a cohort of new hires through their first week or running a compliance session, we've got the presentation templates for you.
28. Training Plan Template
When working on an L&D project or onboarding training session, it can be a good idea to put a training or education plan into place. These presentation slides are a great start and can help visualize the content for easier learning.
Putting together training content in a presentation helps offer different formats for learning. Students are often not provided with all of the tools they need to learn the material, and an interactive presentation is a great place to start.
29. Project Management Tool Training Presentation Template
Not all new hires learn a tool just from a demo; a slide deck can also help. For example, these 15 slides work as a training manual for a single piece of software, running from signup through creating a project, adding collaborators and delegating tasks, with two FAQ slides at the end.
The signup slide lays the process out as a five-step timeline. It’s easy to replace each step to match your own software, and keep the caution slide that follows it for whatever your team should never enter into the system.
Best Practice: Spell out the objectives on slide five the way the deck does, training new managers and supplying documentation for self-paced learning. Finally, export it as a SCORM file and load it into your LMS so completion tracks against each employee record.
30. Employee Handbook Presentation Template
Instead of printed handbooks in a binder that are hardly ever updated, HR teams can use these 10 slides to cover the same ground and update them whenever necessary. The presentation covers company background, the executive team, an org chart, the communication tools, the payroll schedule, employee benefits and workplace conduct.
The conduct slide splits expected behavior from prohibited behavior down the middle, which will likely land better than a numbered policy list. Load your logo, colors and fonts into your Brand Kit and apply them across all 10 slides in a few clicks.
Send the link to new employees as soon as they sign the contract. That way, day one will run smoother when nobody is hearing the payroll schedule for the first time.
31. Lesson Plan Template
Don’t waste time putting together a dry Microsoft Word or PowerPoint lesson plan. Instead, create an interactive lesson plan that helps you stay on message during your training session and helps your learners know exactly what’s going to come next. It's time to ditch the online PowerPoint and create something worthwhile.
32. Creating Blog Graphics Walkthrough Presentation Template
Customer education teams can use these 8 slides to walk people through a task in your tool, in this case designing blog graphics. The deck opens on why the task matters, compares building from scratch against starting from a template, then runs a six-step process and closes on a demo.
The sizes slide hides four sets of social platform specs behind clickable icons, so one slide does the work of four. Apply the same interactivity to any reference detail customers need on demand rather than up front.
Best Practice: Cap the process at six steps and split it across two slides, as the deck does. A single slide with 12 numbered steps might feel too overwhelming.
Export it as an xAPI file and upload it to your LMS and see which sections customers finish and which ones they abandon.
Pitch Deck Presentation Slides
A pitch deck is an essential presentation for all businesses and entrepreneurs to have. There are many times you might need to pitch your business, whether it’s to investors for funding, journalists for media coverage and more.
Using a presentation template to put together your pitch deck is a great idea so that you can focus on pitching your business without having to worry about the design. That focus counts, because DocSend found only 58% of pitch decks are read to the last slide.
Browse through the pitch deck presentation slides below to find one that works for your business and its goals.
“When you’re creating product presentation always do a little research on the industry you are designing for so it is easier to get inspiration for use of colors, fonts, shapes and photos. This helps to ensure your project is not boring, but that it draws people's attention, but always maintaining a good balance, not trying to include everything but rather that there is design and information.”
Fiorella Cánepa Lama
Graphic Designer at Visme
33. Airbnb Pitch Deck Presentation Template
Give this Airbnb-inspired pitch deck presentation theme a go when putting together a slideshow for your business. In your company slide, include the solution that your business provides its customers, product/service information, and excerpts from press acknowledgements.
Pro Tip: If you don’t have your own photography, Visme’s photo library includes hundreds of thousands of free stock photos to choose from.34. Front Pitch Deck Presentation Template
Showcase your business with this geometric pitch deck template inspired by Front. Add in the planned acquisition channels for your business, your leadership team and more.

36. Comms Pitch Deck Presentation Template
Use these presentation slides inspired by Intercom to give your audience an idea of what your product is going to look like and how it will work.
This is the perfect pitch deck template to take advantage of when launching a new SaaS product or app so that you can share what the technology will look like and how it will work. You can share must-have details that investors are looking for, plus a team slide in your pitch deck to show off the professionals who will put those funds to good use.
Showcasing specific features and tutorials is a great way to get people talking about your product.
37. WeWork Pitch Deck Presentation Template
Is your company helping to fuel a movement? Share how your company is changing the industry with this pitch deck template inspired by WeWork.
It’s exciting when your business is doing more for your industry than simply adding another product or service. Focusing on a movement that really switches up the way your industry does things is an incredible feat.
Utilize a pitch deck template like the one above to showcase how your company is involved.
38. Pre-Seed Pitch Deck Template
Founders raising a pre-seed or seed round get about ten minutes, so you might as well line up your slides well. This 10-slide deck follows the order investors expect: problem, target market, solution, future features, vision, then the specific goal you are raising against.
Every claim on the problem slide sits beside a hard number in its own card, like wire transfers taking two to five days or fees above 5% of the transaction.
Best Practice: Compress your vision into one line on a highlight bar, the way the example does with its Stripe comparison. Investors repeat that line to their partners, so make it the sharpest sentence in the deck.
Short on time? Generate a first draft from a prompt, then replace the placeholder numbers with yours.
39. Investor Pitch Deck Template
Starting a new venture that you need funding for? Use these presentation slides to put together a pitch for investors in your business.
From showcasing the problem in the industry to your business’s solution, along with your business plan and pricing table is a great way to get potential investors interested in what you’re selling.
40. LinkedIn Pitch Deck Presentation Template
Compare and contrast what processes look like with and without your business with this pitch deck template inspired by LinkedIn.
It’s a great idea to take care of this in your pitch deck so that you make the job of any media outlet or writer covering your business even easier. After all, you’ve done the hard work for them.
They were going to share how your business helps. You’ve already visualized this in your pitch deck. This increases the chances that people will cover your business.
41. Corporate Tech Pitch Deck
These 14 slides support software founders pitching a tech tool to a room that may not be able to code. Focusing on the philosophy and the solution to a real problem first, it then showcases the business model, target market and sales strategy.
When customizing this template for your tech startup, write your positioning slide as one sentence. For example, the fictional company in this deck compares itself to autocorrect. This analogy will stay in the investor's memory because it’s powerful and memorable.
42. Real Estate App Pitch Deck
Property Tech founders raising an early round need to show traction before the product is proven. These 15 slides will help you do just that.
In this scenario, the traction information is one of the most valuable, as it shows what has been achieved so far. The slide for this data includes three cards for the first three months with unit counts rising across them. Replace the figures with your own and keep the three-card layout.
Get inspired by this design and give competitors two slides instead of one. It splits current rivals from likely future ones, reinforcing your forward goals. Naming potential entrants to your market later shows investors that you have looked beyond the current landscape.
43. Startup Pitch Deck Template
Not every pitch goes to investors. Founders still working out the model, or presenting to an accelerator or advisory board, also need to present their processes. These 14 slides carry a SWOT grid, a Business Model Canvas, a Lean Canvas, a five-tier pricing table and four data slides covering market size, competition and adoption.
Put the pricing tier you want chosen in the middle column. Most audiences anchor to the outer options and settle toward the center, an effect documented in theJournal of Consumer Psychology.
Pro Tip: You can easily swap out all of the photos, icons, and shapes with others from Visme’s library that better suit your brand.44. Biogrify Pitch Deck Presentation Template
Use these presentation slides inspired by Biogrify to excite people about how they can use your product. If you have a unique product or service, you just need to drum up a little excitement and attention!

Presentation Slide FAQs
A PowerPoint slide deck is a collection of slides that are created using an online presentation maker. These slides are used to create presentations for various purposes, like sales, marketing, research, case studies, webinars, onboarding and business in general.
PPT presentation slides typically consist of a series of slides that contain text, images, charts, graphs, and other multimedia elements that are used to communicate information to the audience in an engaging and visually appealing manner.
So why is it called a slide deck? In the early days, presenters would create slides by photographing images or text onto transparent film. These slides would then be loaded into a slide projector and displayed on a screen. The collection of slides was referred to as a “deck,” and the presenter would advance through them one by one. Today, the term “slide deck” is still used to refer to a collection of slides or presentation materials, even though most presentations are now created and displayed digitally.
A good presentation slide is one that engages your audience and effectively communicates your message.
Here are some key characteristics of a good presentation slide:
- Keep your slides simple and uncluttered: Avoid excessive text and use bullet points or concise phrases to convey your main points. Use clear and legible fonts, and maintain a consistent design throughout the presentation.
- Visual appeal: Incorporate visually appealing elements such as relevant images, charts, graphs, or diagrams. Use high-quality visuals that enhance understanding and make the content more engaging
- Make it readable: Use a readable font size. Stick to a maximum of two or three font styles and sizes. Blend bright and dark colors for the text and background to ensure visual contrast and good visibility.
- Consistent structure: Use consistent formatting, such as font styles, colors, and alignment, throughout the presentation.

- Use Visual Elements: Incorporate relevant visuals such as images, charts, graphs, icons, or diagrams to enhance understanding and engagement.
- Maintain Visual Hierarchy: Organize your content with a clear visual hierarchy. Use headings, subheadings, and bullet points to guide the audience’s attention and emphasize key points.
- Use Transitions and Animations: Apply transitions and animations to enhance the flow and engagement of your presentation.
- Practice and Test: Review and rehearse your presentation to ensure a smooth delivery. Test your presentation on the actual equipment or platform you’ll be using to ensure compatibility and optimal display.
- Seek Feedback: Before delivering your presentation, consider sharing it with a trusted colleague or friend for feedback. Ask for their input on the content, design, and overall effectiveness. Incorporate their suggestions to improve your presentation.
The best slide for a presentation highly depends on the topic and the target audience. For example, if it’s a pitch deck presentation, the financial projections or business model slide would be the best.
However, here are some of the most common slides you should know about:
- Title Slide: It announces the presentation’s topic and introduces the speaker. It grabs the audience’s initial attention.
- Agenda Slide: This gives the audience an idea of what to expect throughout the presentation.
- Content Slide: These are dense with information. They’re best when broken down into bullet points for readability.
- Visual Slide: Slides with infographics, charts, or other visuals can improve understanding and retention of complex data.
- Interactive Slide: Encourages audience participation and engagement, especially in virtual presentations.
- Conclusion/Summary Slide: Reinforces your presentation’s key points or takeaways.
- Question & Answer Slide: Allows interaction and clarification, ensuring the audience fully grasps the presented materials.
- Contact Information Slide: Provides follow-up information for further questions or networking.
While there’s no one-size-fits-all rule for making presentation slides, you can group them into three main categories:
Introduction and Closing Slides
These slides bookend your presentation. The introduction slide typically includes the title of your presentation, your name and any relevant introductory information. The closing slide summarizes key points, provides a conclusion and often includes contact information or a call to action.
Content Slides
Content slides make up the core of your presentation and contain the primary information you want to convey to your audience. They can include text, images, charts, graphs and other visual or textual elements supporting your presentation’s message.
Transition Slides
Transition slides signal a change in topic or create a smooth flow between different sections of your presentation. They often feature a brief title or heading that previews the upcoming content. Transition slides help guide your audience through the presentation and make it easy to follow.
The four types of presentations are informative, instructional, persuasive and arousing.
- Informative Presentations: These are used to educate the audience on a particular topic. They present facts, data and information to increase the audience’s knowledge and understanding.
- Instructional Presentations: These presentations provide step-by-step guidance or training on a specific task, process or concept. You can use this type of presentation for teaching or coaching purposes, emphasizing learning and development.
- Persuasive Presentations: The primary goal of these presentations is to influence the listeners’ attitudes, beliefs or behaviors. Use this presentation type when you want your audience to accept certain arguments or propositions.
- Arousing Presentations: These presentations aim to evoke interest and awaken curiosity about the topic among the audience. They often aim to inspire, motivate or raise awareness about an issue.
Creating an intriguing 5-minute presentation may be challenging due to the time constraint. Yet, you can deliver an impactful and engaging presentation with a focused approach and attention to detail.
Here are some of the ways to do it:
- Focus on a single core message: Since you have limited time, choose a specific topic and stick to it. Present only the crucial information that will help the audience understand your point.
- Engage from the start: Start your presentation with a compelling story, anecdote or a surprising fact. This will grab the audience’s attention and spark curiosity.
- Keep slides simple and visual: Avoid cluttered slides with too much text. Use visuals such as images, graphs or infographics to illustrate your points clearly and concisely.
- Tell a story: A narrative structure engages the audience and helps them follow your message. Consider using metaphors or anecdotes to explain complex ideas.
- Encourage questions or interaction: Since time is limited, you might opt for a brief Q&A session, ask a rhetorical question or request audience feedback for further discussion later.
- Finish strong: Conclude with a powerful statement, call-to-action or takeaway summarizing your main point. Leave your audience with a lasting impression of your message.
The number of slides you should have for a 20-minute presentation can vary depending on several factors, such as the complexity of the topic and the pace of your speech.
However, the general rule of thumb is to allocate at least 1-2 minutes per slide, which suggests 10-20 slides for a 20-minute presentation.
The 5 5 5 rule is a framework that ensures your presentation is clear and remains engaging. A presentation should have no more than five words per line of text, five lines of text per slide and five slides that apply the first two rules in a row.

The 10 rule for slides is part of Guy Kawasaki’s 10/20/30 rule which emphasizes that no presentation should have more than 10 slides, last longer than 20 minutes, and contain fonts smaller than thirty points.
When it comes to PowerPoint vs Google Slides, both have they’re pro’s and con’s. You’ll need to decide what’s worth the trade if you should pick one over the other, or simply choose Visme.
It depends on how you work. Google Slides is better for real-time collaboration and free browser access. PowerPoint is better for offline editing and data-heavy decks that pull directly from Excel.
Choose Google Slides if your team builds decks together and shares by link. Choose PowerPoint if you work offline or need charts tied to spreadsheet data.
Both have limits on design assets and interactivity. See how Visme stacks up against Google Slides and PowerPoint.
