Backstory: We (work) are working with some business school strategy students this week and I needed to quickly pull together a presentation about our team and our business proposition. I don’t have Powerpoint, and Keynote gets me lost in the weeds of graphical fine-tuning. I needed something simple. I’ve always loved the idea of s5 and the HTML slide format, but the available themes looked a bit like they belonged at an IEEE conference. So, Glossdeck happened.

Use / enjoy / share.
