Hey Reader,

The right presentation tools will give you superpowers.

But most people aren’t using them.

Here are 10 of the very best websites to supercharge your presentation:

1: Use templates to build beautiful slides with Slides Carnival.

Don’t start creating your slides from scratch when there are plenty of expert designers out there.

Instead, use designs created for you.

With Slides Carnival you can choose from thousands of templates.

• Search by color, style, or topic
• Download your template
• Open it
• Edit it to suit you

There are templates for PowerPoint, Google Slides, + Canva.

2: Choose a color scheme that actually works with Coolors.

Most of us don’t have a degree in Color Theory.

Thankfully, now we don’t need one.

I use Coolors ALL the time.

You can:

• Explore palettes
• Check for contrasting colors that work
• Lock in specific colors if there's ones you like
• Select colors from images

Such an easy way to ensure you use eye-catching palettes.

3: Find images that are crisp and clear with Pixabay.

Sick of grainy images in the wrong size?

Make it so that all your images are clear and sharp with Pixabay.

• Browse the image bank
• Choose the size you need
• Download the image to use

​

4: Find eye-catching icons with Flaticon.

Want to add custom icons to your slides?

​Flaticon has everything you need.

• Search by topic
• Download the icon
• Use it with attribution

1000s of free icons to choose from.

5: Use polls to learn about your audience with Mentimeter.

Polls can be a critical tool to kick off audience engagement.

​Mentimeter is one of my favorite polling sites.

Polls are versatile and questions can be designed for many reasons:

• Break the ice with funny questions
• Assess knowledge with multiple choice
• Receive feedback with word clouds
• Adapt your content with ranking

With Mentimeter you can integrate polls seamlessly into your own slides.

6: Use quizzes to generate engagement with Kahoot.

Everybody loves a competition.

Get your audience fired up by running a quiz.

​Kahoot is unrivalled for this.

• Use templates for design help
• Create your own questions
• Allocate points
• Add images
• Keep score

It's very easy for the audience to join.

7: Use an interactive whiteboard with Witeboard

Allow the audience to work together with a collaborative whiteboard.

​Witeboard can be set up in 15 seconds. Just open it and share the link.

Use whiteboards to:

• Simplify concepts with diagrams
• Collaborate in small groups
• Save + share them later

8: Get questions from your audience with Slido.

Want to avoid surprises with live questions?

Need to be able to organize all questions submitted?

With Slido, questions can be:

• Anonymous
• Highlighted
• Moderated
• Upvoted
• Edited

Makes it simple to keep track of questions and interact with your learners.

9: Easily prerecord your presentation with Clipchamp

Now you can do it quickly with Clipchamp.

• Use your camera or screen only
• Insert video clips

Quick + intuitive to get you started.

10: Get a live transcript with Otter.

Want to make your talks more accessible AND use less text on your slides?

Use a live transcript with Otter.ai to solve the problem.

For your audience this unlocks:

• Easier note-taking
