How to embed a PowerPoint presentation into a website or blog

Do you want to know how to add a powerpoint presentation to your website or blog without having to upload multiple slide images or a video of the entire presentation .

In this guide, I'll show you how to make your presentation more interactive and engaging for your audience on the web. I'll explain how to upload your presentation slideshow directly to your blog, so your readers can enjoy all the functions of a PowerPoint presentation directly on your website or blog page.

To help you understand better, I'll show you an example of a presentation that has already been uploaded to this blog. With the help of PowerPoint for the Web, you can make your presentations more accessible and engaging for your audience. So, let me guide you through the process of seamlessly integrating your PowerPoint presentation into your website or blog.

This presentation is part of our Law PowerPoint Template .  You can use this template or any other template from the PresenterMedia  PowerPoint Templates library. 

This template can be accessed and download at no cost by simply signing up for the  PresenterMedia free basic plan .

The only version of PowerPoint that allows users to create embed code is PowerPoint for the Web .

Historically, consumers were able to save a presentation as a video and embed it onto a website. But it wasn't the same as allowing readers to click through the slides, and download if needed. Microsoft heard from their clients and added the ability to embed the web application into the latest iteration of PowerPoint (for Web). With that said, let's check out this feature from Microsoft!

Let's get started Embedding!

Now that you've seen what a PowerPoint looks like once embedded, let's get into the process of completing the task at hand.

Begin by opening the PowerPoint 365 Web Application (link here !)   Note* You may need to sign into your Microsoft Office account before you start.

After the site is open, select the presentation you'd like to embed into your website if already uploaded (or start from scratch).

If you haven't uploaded your presentation to PowerPoint for the web, choose the upload option.

Okay, once you've upload or selected your PowerPoint file it will load into the PowerPoint web application.

Next, click "File" from the upper left corner of PowerPoint and select "Share" from the options on the left side.

Then, select "Embed" from the two option on the right.

The default embed code in my PowerPoint is 476 x 288.  As a rule, 610 x 367 will fit on most websites comfortably, but if you want your viewer to have a full-screen experience, then 1186 x 691 dimensions would be preferable.  However, this option is customizable, so you can choose any size you desire.

Copy the Embed Code and paste it into the body of your website or blog.

Last, but not least, be sure to save the code in your site or blog, and voila! You've successfully embedded a PowerPoint presentation into your website.

To recap: How to embed a PowerPoint presentation into a website includes 4 simple steps:

Open your presentation in Office 365's version of PowerPoint

Click File > Share > Embed

Copy the embed code

Paste the embed code to your website.

Thanks so much for checking out this tutorial! Let us know if you have any burning questions about PowerPoint or Office 365!

Why is embedding a PowerPoint Presentation in a blog or website a Smart Move?

When it comes to showcasing presentations on your website or blog, embedding a PowerPoint slideshow is a great way to make them more engaging and interactive. Unlike static images, an embedded presentation allows your audience to navigate through slides, interact with content, and absorb information in a more immersive way. This not only enhances the visual appeal of your presentations but also makes it easier for your viewers to explore the content at their own pace .

How to Create a Presentation with PowerPoint Online

An online version of PowerPoint was introduced in 2010, a few years after the Google Docs release, which came out as early as 2007. Over the years, the product, along with other Microsoft Office apps, underwent major changes, making it more user-friendly and feature-rich for end users.

Given the rise of inter-device connectivity and cloud support, tools like Microsoft 365, particularly its Word, Excel, and PowerPoint web-based counterparts, have considerably increased their capabilities, matching the performance of desktop versions. In this article, we will talk about PowerPoint Online, also called PowerPoint for Web, and how it can help presenters craft presentations and access them on the go wherever they log in. 

Table of Contents

What is PowerPoint Online

Advantages of powerpoint online, getting started with powerpoint for the web, how to create a powerpoint online presentation, collaboration and sharing, saving and exporting, tips for creating high-quality slides in powerpoint online, troubleshooting common issues in powerpoint online.

• Conclus i on

PowerPoint for the Web, which was previously called PowerPoint Online, is a web-based version of PowerPoint that enables creating, viewing, editing, and sharing PowerPoint presentations online. Unlike Google Slides, PowerPoint for the Web provides better native support for PowerPoint files. It makes it possible to seamlessly work with PowerPoint files and features through a web-based browser, with OneDrive support to share and store your data. PowerPoint for the web is free to use but has limited features. However, if you are a Microsoft 365 subscriber, you can get better features when using the web-based version of PowerPoint.

PowerPoint for the web provides the same benefits as the desktop version of PowerPoint, with the added advantage of accessing these features anywhere using an Internet browser. Below is a list of advantages of using PowerPoint Online.

Easy Accessibility

You can access PowerPoint features anywhere using an Internet-connected browser without installing the PowerPoint app on your device. Furthermore, you can also upload and access files from your device anytime, anywhere, via the web.

Support for Native PowerPoint Features

Be it online collaboration, cloud storage, or access to version history, you can get native PowerPoint features via a web-based version of PowerPoint without the need to worry about compatibility issues. Furthermore, unlike Google Slides or other web-based variants of PowerPoint, PowerPoint for the web helps access native PowerPoint features without causing compatibility issues such as incorrect display of certain themes or support for various animations available in the offline version.

OneDrive Integration

The integration of PowerPoint for the web with OneDrive allows instantly storing, sharing, and accessing different versions of a file using the cloud storage support of OneDrive.

Easy Sharing

The OneDrive integration enables the online version of PowerPoint to be used for instantly sharing presentations online using a link with a specific access level (view only or editing privileges).

Online Collaboration

While PowerPoint’s offline version also provides collaboration features, using PowerPoint for the web can provide a smoother experience when looking for real-time changes to a PowerPoint file.

Version History

PowerPoint files saved with the web version come with a version history, where you can access older file versions to restore according to need. This feature is also available for the offline version, which you must turn on upload to OneDrive. In other words, version history is only supported for PowerPoint files that are saved online.

Cross-Platform Compatibility

Since you only need a web browser and a Microsoft account to access PowerPoint Online, there are no issues with having a compatible device to use the app. This means you can access PowerPoint Online using any device that can run a modern Internet browser.

Accessibility Features

PowerPoint for the web is among the few platforms that provide accessibility features for persons with disabilities, such as image ALT text and support for screen readers.

PowerPoint for the web is regularly updated, providing access to the latest features for end users.

To get started, go to Office.com  or powerpoint.office.com and select the PowerPoint icon to access PowerPoint for the web. You will require a Microsoft account to log in.

Once logged in, you can create a new PowerPoint presentation or upload one from your device. All you need for accessing the web version of PowerPoint is a modern Internet browser and a device that can support it. This web-based version of PowerPoint works with all commonly used browsers and their variants, including Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Safari, Opera, and others.

From Office.com, you can create new PowerPoint presentations from scratch or via a template, upload new ones, or open an existing one saved to OneDrive. 

Create a New Presentation with PowerPoint for the Web

Click Create or use a PowerPoint template from the options to create a new PowerPoint presentation. You can start with a specific theme or use a blank template. You can also browse through themes via Office.com to find one that best suits your needs.

Upload a PowerPoint Presentation

To upload a PowerPoint presentation, click Upload after logging into Office.com and select a file from your device.

Open an Existing PowerPoint Presentation Online

All PowerPoint presentations saved from a device are automatically uploaded to OneDrive and can be accessed via PowerPoint’s online version. As mentioned earlier, you can upload and save presentations and access them anytime.

Adjusting the Ribbon Menu Layout

You can toggle between the classic and single-line ribbon interface to suit your preferences. The Ribbon menu can also be adjusted to stay available or hidden periodically. 

Naming Your Presentation

It is best to name your presentation to ensure it is easy to search and open later via OneDrive. Otherwise, a generic name will be assigned to the presentation (e.g., Presentation 1). To name your presentation, click on the generic name at the top and type in the new name.

Formatting and Design

As you start formatting your slides, the Designer feature will provide you with options to create layouts for your slides. You can optionally use this feature to get started with the basic design for your slides or use the Design tab to select design elements.

Like the desktop app, the Design tab in PowerPoint Online provides access to themes, background and slide size adjustment options, and theme variants to help you design your slides.

Adding Content

The Insert tab provides all the necessary options to add new slides, tables, pictures, shapes, icons, SmartArt, text boxes, audio, video, cameo to insert Live camera feed, and other options. 

Formatting Pictures

Like the desktop version of PowerPoint, pictures can be added from your device, stock images, or via Bing search. The Picture tab can be used to format added pictures after selecting them. Various options in this tab allow you to crop, add a picture frame, and adjust the picture on the slide.

You can also access Format Options via the right-click menu.

This will open a sidebar providing options to adjust the selected image’s width, height, angle, shadow, reflection, and text margins.

Formatting Videos

PowerPoint for the web allows formatting videos via the Shape tab and Format Options via the right-click menu. The Shape tab can give a frame or shape to the video, adjust the outline, manage how it is displayed on the slide, and adjust the size of the video. Sometimes, the Shape tab might be replaced with the Video tab to show editing options. This change is particularly visible if the user is not logged in and is editing the presentation as a Guest user. The Format Options enable editing the video’s width, height, angle, text margins, shadow, and reflection.

Formatting Audio

Two major options for formatting added audio clips include the Playback tab and Audio Format tab. The Playback tab can adjust the volume, playback trigger, and other related options.

The Audio Format tab includes picture styles for the audio icon, border stylizing, rotation, and other formatting options to adjust how the audio clip appears on the slide.

Annotation Options

The Draw tab gives various tools like pens and highlighters to annotate slides or draw on the screen. Other tools include an eraser, lasso, draw with touch, and stencil.

Transitions and Animations

Like the desktop version of PowerPoint, the Transitions tab for the web version gives transitions to use for your slides. You can adjust the effects of added transitions and duration once you have added a transition for a slide.

The Animations tab can be used to apply standard transitions and adjust effects, triggers, and duration for the animations according to need.

SlideShow, Review, and View

The SlideShow tab is used to start the SlideShow from the beginning of the current slide or to initiate a Live presentation with a QR code and link for viewing the presentation Live. You can also use Rehearse with Coach, use subtitles, and edit subtitle settings. You can also learn more about some of these features from our post about how to present a PowerPoint Online .

If you are searching for the features to check spelling and grammar, comments, changes, and accessibility options, head to the Review tab.

Most PowerPoint users know that the viewing options are available at the bottom of the PowerPoint interface. However, you can also access them from the View tab in PowerPoint. The same features are available for PowerPoint for the web. This includes options like switching between Slide Sorter, Immersive Reader, and Normal View and access to Notes, Zoom, and Fit to Window options.

To share your PowerPoint presentation, click Share from the top left corner of PowerPoint Online. You can create a sharing link according to specific settings, copy the existing link, link to a slide, or view and manage access to the presentation.

Collaborators can be invited via email or link by adjusting whether a user has view-only or editing privileges.

Once the settings have been configured, a link can be generated to copy and share with users. When configuring settings, you can also directly send the link with a message to an end user.

Users collaborating on the slide deck with their names are shown at the top. A generic name is assigned to the collaborator if it’s a guest.

You can see the comments added by collaborators on the presentation by going to Comments.

Next to the Comments button is the Catch-up button that tracks and shows the changes made by real-time collaborators as you work on the presentation.

You can also access sharing options via File -> Share . You can open sharing options or generate an embed code for the presentation from here.

When generating an embed code, you can adjust the width, height, and slide advancement options and generate a code for a website.

To switch between viewing modes, you can change to view only and editing options as you collaborate or open the presentation in the desktop app. These options can be helpful for you to adjust how you wish to work or review the presentation.

To save your presentation, go to File -> SaveAs to save a copy to OneDrive, download a copy of the PowerPoint presentation, rename the file, or download the file in an alternative format such as PDF, ODP, or image.

When saving a copy of the presentation on OneDrive, you can select an existing folder or create a new one to select the file location.

You can consider the tips below to create visually appealing slides with PowerPoint Online.

Focus on Design Consistency

Use a consistent design with a color scheme, fonts, alignment, and graphics tailored to a specific format. Don’t use too many changes that might make the content appear muddled.  

Avoid Heavy Multimedia

Since PowerPoint for the Web is an online platform, not everyone might have the required Internet bandwidth or hardware to run heavy presentations smoothly. Using multimedia content in moderation can help avoid such issues.

Uncluttered Slides

Cluttered slides on an online interface will likely cause compatibility issues for some viewers or the slides might not appear properly on some browsers and devices. To avoid this, try to create uncluttered slides. Using minimalist slides might just be the best way to go.

Even the Distribution of Slide Elements

By evenly distributing slide elements with proper alignment, you should be able to create online slides that are easy for the eyes to follow.

Choose Imagery Carefully

When selecting icons, graphical elements, and pictures, try not to use imagery that is too flashy and might cause issues when opened across different browsers and devices. You can use icons from the built-in icons library in PowerPoint and select pictures that don’t visually overpower the viewer.

Get Design Ideas

You can get design ideas using PowerPoint Designer to adjust your design for visual appeal and design consistency.

Productivity Shortcuts

PowerPoint for the web primarily provides most of the features in the desktop app. Below are some tips and tricks for productivity when using the web version of PowerPoint. For some shortcuts listed below, PC users must use CTRL, whereas Mac users will use Command.

• Insert New Slide using CTRL+M hotkey (Command+M for Mac)
• Use F5 to start the slideshow and Esc to end the slideshow
• CTRL+D duplicates the slide (Command+D for Mac)
• CTRL+Shift+D deletes the slide (Command+Shift+D for Mac)
• Use CTRL+S to save slide (Command+S for Mac)
• Use CTRL+W to close the presentation (Command+W for Mac)
• To open printing options, use CTRL+P (Command+P for Mac)
• Zoom in with CTRL+Plus button (Command+Plus button for Mac)
• Zoom out with CTRL+Minus button (Command+Minus button for Mac)
• Insert a table with CTRL+T (Command+T for Mac)
• Insert a hyperlink with CTRL+K (Command+K for Mac)
• Align text with CTRL+L for left, CTRL+E for center, and CTRL+R for right (Replace CTRL with Command for Mac)

Screen Freezes When Working with PowerPoint for the Web

If your screen freezes while you’re working, the web version of PowerPoint is likely encountering an issue when saving the file, showing elements, or inserting content. You can wait a while, and the issue should be resolved. Also, check your Internet connection to see that you are connected. You might want to close additional tabs and review your system usage to see if your hardware is overwhelmed due to resource-intensive apps or multiple browser tabs.

Slide Elements Don’t Appear Properly

If your browser isn’t compatible or uses a browser plugin that blocks slide elements, you might encounter issues viewing slides. Use a compatible browser and turn off any plugins that might interfere with PowerPoint’s online interface.

File Upload or Download Issues

When you are unable to upload or download files, it is likely that your Internet connection is unstable or disconnected. Check your connection to resolve the issue.

Unable to Login

This is likely caused by incorrect credentials or a recent change in credentials, such as a password. If you cannot log in despite no apparent issues, try to clear your browser’s cache or switch to another browser to see if you can log in.

PowerPoint for the web provides most features available for the desktop version and some sharing and collaboration features that require uploading the file online for use. You will notice that some of these features are smoother when used with the online version compared to the desktop version. Furthermore, the online version of PowerPoint provides access regardless of whether you have PowerPoint installed on your device. If you are someone who does not have a Microsoft 365 subscription and needs to access a PowerPoint file, you can log in for free with a Microsoft account with limited features. Alternatively, if the online version is not an option for you, you can still learn how to create a PowerPoint presentation in the installed version of Office.

Genially in a nutshell

How do I make a presentation interactive and how does Genially work? Find the answers to all of your slide-related questions here!

What’s an interactive presentation?

Interactive slides contain clickable hotspots, links, buttons, and animations that are activated at the touch of a button. Instead of reading or watching passively, your audience can actively interact with the content.  

Genially’s interaction presentation software allows you to combine text, photos, video clips, audio and other content in one deck. It’s a great way to condense more information into fewer slides. 

If you’re a teacher, you can share multiple materials in one single learning resource. Students can create their own projects using digital media and online maps. For business or training, try embedding spreadsheet data, PDFs, and online content directly in your slides. 

An interactive slide deck is more user-friendly than a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation or Google Slides document. That’s because you can break information down into chunks with pop-ups, labels, voiceovers and annotated infographics.  

The other benefit of interactive content is increased engagement. It’s easier to keep your audience’s attention when they’re actively participating. Try Genially’s presentation software and free slideshow maker to see how it’s better than other presentation websites. You won’t go back to standard presentation apps!

How do you make a clickable slide?

The best way to make slides clickable is to use Genially’s free interactive presentation program. Design your slide then apply an interaction. In a couple of clicks, you can add popup windows, hyperlinks, close-up images, games, animations, multimedia and other content. 

Choose from the library of hotspot buttons and icons to show people what to click on. Go to Presenter View to get a preview and see how your content will appear to your audience.

How do I create presentations that look professional?

You’ve got a deadline looming and you’re staring at the screen with a blank presentation. We’ve all been there! Starting a presentation design from scratch is tricky, especially if you’re short on time. 

Genially’s free online presentation maker has over 2000 ready-to-use templates for professional slide presentations, photos slideshows, and more. Each slide design has been created by our team of top graphic designers. No need to worry about fonts, centering images, or designing a matching color scheme. It’s all done for you. 

Start by browsing our layouts and themes for education, business and then customize with your own text and images.

How do I share or download my slides?

Because Genially is a cloud based presentation software, you can simply share the link to your slides. Like other online presentation tools, there are no files to download or store on your computer. Everything is saved online.  

When you publish your slide deck, it gets its own unique url, just like a website. Share the link with others to let them explore the content in their own time. If you’re presenting live, just click the Present button. 

You can also embed your presentation on your website, company wiki, or social media. Genially is compatible with WordPress, Moodle, Google Classroom, and other platforms. If you use an LMS, you can also download your interactive design slides in SCORM format.

For slideshow videos and slideshows with music, share online or download as an MP4 video. Check out our free slideshow templates for ideas.

Can I make a free presentation in Genially?

You bet! Genially is an easy-to-use slide maker, with a free version and paid plans. The free plan allows you to create unlimited slides with interactions and animations. Subscribe to one of our paid plans for more advanced features.

5 Ways to Put PowerPoint Presentation on Web

Want to share your original and creative presentations with others all over the world? Putting PowerPoint presentation on Web sounds a good idea. Especially in this era of Internet on which everyone can view various resources using their computers.

Here are 5 different ways to put PowerPoint presentation on Web. Each way has its cons and pros.

Method 1 Upload and link PowerPoint File directly

Yes, you could just upload PowerPoint file to your web site and link to it. Visitors click and download the file to view the presentation on their computers.

Visitors should download the presentation before viewing.

Visitors should install

to view it.

The presentation file may have a big file size.

Just upload your presentation to your Website and link to it.

Share your presentation with all the animations and special effects.

Method 2 Share presentation on Slideshare.net

Slideshare.net is a famous presentation sharing website. Think of it as something like YouTube for slide shows. You can upload your presentations in PPT, PPS or POT formats to SlideShare and they’re converted into shared media.

All the animations, multimedia files in the presentation will disappear.

The presentation can be viewed on any computers.

Method 3 Publish as HTML web page

PowerPoint lets you save your presentation as HTML, as a web page (Office button -> Save As -> Other Formats, and then choose Web Page in the “Save as type” pull-down menu).

Each slide is saved as a separate image, with its own page, so you have to upload an entire folder of files to your server.

It will not display properly for website visitors who aren’t using IE.

Free open source software may be a stronger choice in this instance. OpenOffice Impress , the PowerPoint look-alike from http://www.OpenOffice.org , lets you create a PPT presentation from scratch, and it will also convert an existing PowerPoint presentation to HTML in a form that’s compatible with a broader range of browsers.

Method 4 Flash it using Wondershare PPT2Flash

Actually, OpenOffice even offers to export your presentation as a Flash (SWF) format, but animations will disappear.

Wondershare PPT2Flash, an add-in of PowerPoint, lets you convert PowerPoint presentation to Flash with one-click.

3 steps to convert your presentation to Flash:

Download and install PPT2Flash -> Import PowerPoint presentation -> Click “Publish” to convert.

Has up to 90% reduction in file size after conversion.

Flash can be shown properly on any computers.

The conversion retains all the animations, hyperlinks, multimedia file in your presentation.

Flash is difficult to modify .

Method 5 Record it using Camtasia Studio

Download and install Comtasia (http://www.techsmith.com) on your computer and then follow the steps below.

Step 1, save your PPT file as PPS file.

Step 2, Set Camtasia studio to record the whole screen.

Step 3, Play your PowerPoint PPS file and Press “F9” to start recording the screen.

Step 4, when you reach your last blank slide, Press F10 to tell Camtasia Recorder to stop recording. You will be prompted to save the captured slideshow, so choose a directory and enter filename.

Step 5, save your capture in SWF format.

It will a little time-consuming if there are many slides in your presentation.

Best way to publish your presentation on Web

If you want to make animated and protected presentation on Web in minutes, converting PowerPoint to Flash using Wondershare PPT2Flash sounds downright elegant!

Showing a Flash movie on web is most often as easy as uploading your SWF file to your web space and using a few lines of object / embed code (http://www.w3schools.com/flash/flash_inhtml.asp) to embed the file on your page.

Camtasia can record the screen and sound when your play your PowerPoint, but should pay $299 to buy which is higher than PPT2Flash ($59.95). For Mac users, you can upload your presentation to slideshare.net . If you only want to create static presentation on web, using OpenOffice to export your presentation to HTML or Flash would be better.

I hope you can use these 5 methods to share your presentation on web easily. Of course, if you have any other good methods, please let me know. Thanks!

How to Embed a Website in PowerPoint: Step-by-Step Guide for Seamless Integration

Embedding a website into a PowerPoint presentation can transform a typical slide into an engaging, interactive experience. Imagine showing your audience live data updates from a website or directly integrating a web tool without leaving your presentation. By using the LiveWeb add-in, we can insert live web pages into our slides, making our presentations more dynamic and interactive.

To get started, we need to install the LiveWeb add-in, which seamlessly allows us to link a website into a PowerPoint slide. Once installed, simply navigate to the “Insert” tab, select “My Add-ins,” choose “Web Viewer” or “LiveWeb,” and paste the website URL. This feature enables us to keep our audience engaged by presenting content that updates in real-time.

When we incorporate live web pages into a presentation, it not only retains our audience’s attention but also enriches the content we present. This method is perfect for business pitches, educational sessions, or any scenario where up-to-date information is crucial. By adding an interactive layer, we ensure our presentations remain fresh and compelling.

Embedding Web Content into Slides

When adding web content to PowerPoint slides, it’s important to use the right tools and techniques. We’ll break this down by exploring different ways to embed web elements, ensuring a smooth presentation experience.

Using LiveWeb for Interactive Pages

LiveWeb, an add-in for PowerPoint, helps us embed live, interactive web pages directly into slides. This tool is useful for showcasing live data or interactive content.

• Download and install LiveWeb.
• Open PowerPoint and create or select a slide.
• Go to the Insert tab and click on Web Page in the LiveWeb section.
• Enter the URL of the web page you want to embed.

LiveWeb keeps the web page refreshed, making it great for displaying dynamic content like stock tickers or social media feeds.

Leveraging PowerPoint Add-ins

We often leverage add-ins to enhance our PowerPoint presentations with web content. The Web Viewer add-in, for example, allows us to insert websites easily.

Steps to use Web Viewer:

• Open PowerPoint and navigate to the Add-ins section.
• Click on My Add-ins and select Web Viewer .
• Paste the web URL, removing the https:// as it’s added by default.

Using add-ins is user-friendly and integrates smoothly without needing extensive tech skills.

Inserting Audio and Video Media

Embedding multimedia brings life to our slides. Insert videos from YouTube or Vimeo:

• Go to the Insert tab and choose Online Video .
• Paste the video URL into the dialogue box.

For audio, do the same:

• In the Insert tab, select Audio and then Audio from Online Sources .

These elements ensure our presentations are engaging and informative.

Adding Html Files and Markup

We also embed HTML files and custom markup to add specialized content. This involves creating local HTML files and then embedding them with iframes or other methods.

Steps to embed HTML:

• Save your HTML file locally.
• Use the Insert tab and select Object .
• Choose Create from File and browse to your HTML file.

HTML embedding is useful for adding custom forms, interactive graphs, or CSS-designed elements, making our presentations versatile and dynamic.

By employing these methods, we create interactive and engaging PowerPoint presentations that captivate our audience and convey information effectively.

Creating Clickable Hyperlinks

We’ll guide you through creating clickable hyperlinks to enrich your PowerPoint presentation, whether linking to external websites or navigating within the slideshow.

Hyperlinking to External Websites

Adding hyperlinks to external websites helps integrate online content directly into your presentation. This can be done easily by selecting the text, shape, or image you want to link. Then, click on Insert > Link .

A dialog box will appear where you can enter the URL of the website. Make sure the URL is complete, starting with http:// or https:// . This will ensure that the presentation can access the internet correctly.

Adding external links is also a good way to reference sources, provide additional reading material, or direct your audience to an external online tool or resource. This kind of link can make your slides far more interactive and engaging.

Using Hyperlinks for Navigation

Using hyperlinks within your presentation helps in creating a non-linear navigation format. This is particularly useful for complex slideshows where users need to jump between different sections.

To do this, select the text or object to be used for the link. Go to Insert > Link , then choose Place in This Document . A list of your slides will appear, allowing you to select the destination slide.

By setting up these internal links, you can create a table of contents, interactive quizzes, or a FAQ slide where users click questions to view answers on separate slides. Hyperlinks within the presentation are key for enhancing user experience and ensuring a smooth navigation flow.

Enhancing Slideshows with Additional Elements

Adding more elements to your slides can make your PowerPoint presentation more engaging and informative. Let’s dive into integrating data visualizations and incorporating screenshots and images to enhance your slideshow.

Integrating Data Visualizations

Integrating data visualizations can transform ordinary slides into dynamic, informative displays. Charts, graphs, and infographics offer a clear way to present complex data. Using PowerPoint’s built-in chart tools, we can create bar charts, line graphs, and pie charts. Each of these visualizations can help communicate key insights effectively.

PowerPoint add-ins like DataPoint also allow us to embed real-time data. This is great for live presentations where information needs to be updated on the fly. We simply link our data source, and the chart updates automatically.

By incorporating interactive charts, we provide our audience with a deeper understanding of the data. They can interact with the presentation, thus making information retention more likely. It’s a game-changer for data-heavy presentations and helps keep the audience engaged.

Incorporating Screenshots and Images

Screenshots and images add visual appeal and clarity to our presentations. They help break the monotony of text-heavy slides and capture attention. To add a screenshot, we use the Insert tab and choose Screenshot from there. This allows us to capture the entire screen or a specific window directly into the slide.

Images can illustrate points more vividly than words alone. By utilizing high-quality images, we bolster key points in a memorable way. Stock photos, custom graphics, and screenshots of relevant web pages or applications can be seamlessly integrated.

Using the image formatting tools, we can adjust size, aspect ratio, and add effects like shadows or borders. This ensures that the visuals not only complement but enhance the overall slide design.

Adding images also humanizes our content, making it more relatable and engaging. Plus, screenshots can serve as practical guides or examples, making complex ideas easier to grasp for our audience.

Concluding Your Presentation

Let’s face it—nailing the conclusion of our presentation is just as important as the setup. Without a strong finish, our audience might feel like they’ve missed something. So, how do we craft that perfect closing?

First, we should recap the key points . It reminds everyone of the main takeaways. A clean summary slide does the trick. Bullet points work wonders here.

We can open the floor for questions . This encourages engagement and ensures everyone is on the same page. A simple “Any questions?” slide works great.

Another option is to pose a thought-provoking question or a call to action . For instance, “How can we apply these strategies in our teams?” or “Let’s start incorporating these tips today!”

Trying to leave a lasting impression? We should use a memorable quote that resonates with our topic. Quotes can be powerful if they align well with our content.

In presentation mode , make sure to thank the audience . It shows appreciation and leaves them with a positive last impression.

Lastly, consider offering a contact slide . This helps if anyone wants to reach out for further details. Simple, clear, and professional.

Wrapping up our session smoothly can make a significant impact, ensuring our hard work shines until the very end.

Let’s make our conclusions count! 😊

Embedding a website in PowerPoint can be an excellent way to enhance your presentation and provide your audience with more interactive content. By adding a live website to your PowerPoint presentation, you can show your audience real-time data, information, and statistics.

To embed a website in PowerPoint, you have two main options: using an add-in or using the Web Viewer feature. The add-in method requires you to download and install a third-party add-in, such as LiveWeb, which can be found on the Microsoft website. On the other hand, the Web Viewer feature is built into PowerPoint and allows you to embed a website directly into your presentation without the need for any additional software.

Regardless of which method you choose, embedding a website in your PowerPoint presentation can be a powerful tool to engage your audience and provide them with valuable information. With a live website in your presentation, you can keep your content up-to-date and interactive, making your presentation more engaging and memorable for your audience.

Embedding Live Web Pages

Using powerpoint add-ins for enhanced interactivity, adding screenshots and videos for visual aid, creating clickable hyperlinks, incorporating quizzes and interactive content, choosing the right display options, ensuring content is accessible and engaging, incorporating web content into your slideshow.

If you want to make your PowerPoint presentation more engaging and interactive, you can embed web content into your slideshow. By doing so, you can add live web pages, videos, audio, and other online content directly into your presentation. In this section, I will explain how to incorporate web content into your slideshow using different methods.

One of the easiest ways to add web content to your presentation is by embedding live web pages. To do this, you can use the Web Viewer add-in in PowerPoint. This add-in allows you to embed any live website or web page directly into your presentation.

To embed a live web page, you need to follow these simple steps:

• Open PowerPoint and create a new slide where you want to embed the website.
• Click on the “Insert” tab and select “My Add-ins” from the “Add-ins” section.
• Click on “Web Viewer” and then click on “Insert”.
• Type or paste the URL of the website or web page you want to embed in the “Web Page URL” field.
• Click on “Preview” to view the embedded web page.

PowerPoint add-ins are third-party tools that can help you enhance the interactivity of your presentation. There are many add-ins available that allow you to add various types of media, data visualizations, and interactive elements to your presentation.

For example, the LiveWeb add-in allows you to insert a live web page on a slide and even refresh the web page in real-time during a slide show. You can also use the Web Object add-in to embed HTML files, videos, and other media directly into your presentation.

Another way to incorporate web content into your presentation is by adding screenshots and videos. Screenshots can be used to capture specific parts of a website or web page and add them to your presentation as images. Videos can be used to show demos, tutorials, or other types of content that are not easily represented by static images.

To add a screenshot or video to your presentation, you can use the “Insert” tab and select “Screenshot” or “Video” from the “Media” section. You can also use the “Screen Recording” feature to capture a video of your screen and add it to your presentation.

In conclusion, incorporating web content into your PowerPoint presentation can help you make your presentation more engaging and interactive. By following the methods outlined in this section, you can easily add live web pages, videos, audio, and other online content to your presentation.

Enhancing Presentations with Interactive Elements

As a presenter, I’m always looking for ways to make my presentations more engaging and interactive. Incorporating interactive elements into my PowerPoint presentations has been a game-changer for me. In this section, I’ll share some of the ways I’ve been able to enhance my presentations with interactive elements.

One of the simplest ways to make your PowerPoint presentation more interactive is by creating clickable hyperlinks. Hyperlinks allow you to link to other slides in your presentation, external websites, or even files on your computer. To create a hyperlink, simply highlight the text or object you want to link and click on the “Insert Hyperlink” button.

Pro Tip: Whenever you add a hyperlink to your presentation, make sure it opens in a new window. This will allow your audience to easily navigate back to your presentation without losing their place.

Another way to make your PowerPoint presentation more engaging is by incorporating quizzes and other interactive content. There are several office add-ins available that allow you to create interactive quizzes and games directly within your PowerPoint presentation.

In addition to quizzes, you can also incorporate interactive content such as videos, animations, and screenshots. These elements can help break up the monotony of your presentation and keep your audience engaged.

Pro Tip: When incorporating interactive content, make sure it’s relevant to your presentation topic and doesn’t distract from your main message.

By incorporating clickable hyperlinks and interactive content, you can take your PowerPoint presentations to the next level. Not only will your audience be more engaged, but you’ll also be able to convey your message more effectively.

Optimizing Content Display and Accessibility

When embedding a website into a PowerPoint presentation, it is important to choose the right display options to ensure that the content is showcased in the best possible way. There are several options available when it comes to displaying website content in a PowerPoint slide. One option is to use a screenshot of the website, which can be useful if you want to show a specific section of the website. Another option is to use a live web page, which allows the audience to interact with the website directly from the slide.

In my experience, I have found that using a live web page is the best option for most presentations. It allows the audience to interact with the website and get a better understanding of the content. However, it is important to ensure that the website is optimized for display on the presentation screen. This may involve adjusting the font size, image size, and other markup elements to ensure that the content is easily readable and engaging.

When embedding a website into a PowerPoint presentation, it is important to ensure that the content is accessible and engaging for the audience. This means making sure that the website is optimized for accessibility and that the content is engaging and relevant to the audience.

To ensure that the website is accessible, it is important to use the Accessibility Checker in PowerPoint. This tool will scan the presentation and identify any accessibility issues, such as missing alt text for images or inaccessible links. By addressing these issues, you can ensure that the website is accessible to all members of the audience, including those with disabilities.

To make the content engaging, it is important to choose a website that is relevant to the topic of the presentation. This will help to keep the audience engaged and interested in the presentation. Additionally, it is important to use engaging visuals and interactive elements to keep the audience interested and engaged. This may involve using videos, animations, or other multimedia elements to showcase the content in an engaging and interactive way.

Overall, embedding a website into a PowerPoint presentation can be a great way to showcase content and engage the audience. By choosing the right display options and ensuring that the content is accessible and engaging, you can create a presentation that is both informative and engaging for the audience.

In conclusion, embedding a website in PowerPoint can be a useful tool for presentations. It allows the audience to view the website without having to switch between applications. However, it is important to keep in mind that not all websites may be compatible with the PowerPoint Web Viewer Add-in or LiveWeb add-in. It is always a good idea to test the website before presenting it to ensure that it works properly.

Additionally, it is important to note that the website may not display correctly depending on the size of the PowerPoint slide. It may be necessary to adjust the size of the web viewer object to ensure that the website is fully visible.

Overall, embedding a website in PowerPoint can be a great way to enhance a presentation and provide additional information to the audience. With the right tools and knowledge, it is a simple process that can be done quickly and efficiently.

If you need additional information on how to embed a website in PowerPoint, there are many resources available online. The Microsoft Community Hub and Microsoft Support both offer step-by-step guides on how to use the PowerPoint Web Viewer Add-in and LiveWeb add-in. There are also many tutorials available on YouTube that provide visual demonstrations of how to embed a website in PowerPoint.

In my personal experience, I have found that embedding a website in PowerPoint can be a great way to engage the audience and provide additional information. It is a tool that I have used many times in my own presentations and have found to be very effective.

Step-by-Step Guide to Creating a Website in PowerPoint

Let’s delve into the intricate details of website creation using PowerPoint. Presented below is a comprehensive, step-by-step guide:

Choosing the Right Slide Theme

To begin, you must select an appropriate theme for your website. PowerPoint offers a diverse selection of PowerPoint themes for you to choose from.

Pick one that aligns with the theme and layout of your website. The chosen theme will be the fundamental basis for your website’s design.

Inputting Relevant Information

After choosing a theme, it’s time to enter the necessary details. Enter your website’s name in the ‘add title’ section. In the ‘click to add title’ section, type ‘HOME.’

Besides this, the presence of this will serve as an indication that it represents your homepage and the title of your website. In its absence, PowerPoint will export it as a hyperlink.

Adding Links and Embedding Multimedia

You can embed links and multimedia to make your website more engaging. To insert a hyperlink, choose the object or text you wish to link and navigate to the Insert tab. From there, locate the Links group and select Action, followed by the option to hyperlink to a radio/video. A button will appear, allowing you to play and listen to the audio.

Another possibility is to utilize action buttons, which offer equivalent functionality to hyperlinks but also allow for including sounds and videos. To include an action button, click the Insert tab, navigate to the Shapes option, and also pick the desired button. Then, right-click the button and click on ‘Action Settings.’ Please select the action you wish to assign to the button.

Moreover, optimize your website for mobile devices by testing it on different screen sizes and adjusting the layout and font size as needed.

Saving and Publishing Your Website

Once you have designed your website, it’s time to save it as an HTML file and publish it on the web. So, here are the steps:

Saving Your Presentation as an HTML File

To convert your presentation into an HTML file, you can follow these steps:

• First, click the File menu in the PowerPoint window’s top left corner.
• Then, navigate to Save As.
• A dialogue box will appear, where you should click on the drop-down arrow next to the ‘save as type’ option.
• Choose ‘web page’ from the available options to assign the .html extension to the file name. Also, it’s essential to include the extension for the webserver to interpret the file correctly.

Organizing Files and Folders for Web Hosting

Organize your files and folders by creating a root folder with your website name. To organize your web pages, generate individual subfolders within this directory and include the corresponding HTML file in each one.

Subsequently, you can move the primary directory to your web hosting server using either an FTP client or the file manager supplied by your hosting service.

Customizing Browser Compatibility

Testing your website on different devices and platforms ensures it is compatible with various browsers. One option to assess how your website appears and functions on various browsers is by utilizing online tools such as BrowserStack.

Tips for Designing a Professional-Looking Website in PowerPoint

Creating a professional-looking website in PowerPoint can be challenging, but you can achieve impressive results with the right approach and techniques.

So, here are seven tips to help you design a visually appealing and user-friendly website using PowerPoint.

1. Start with a strong color palette

Choose a solid color palette that is visually interesting and professional. Stick to two or three base colors at most for your design to maintain consistency throughout your presentation.

2. Use simple designs and grids

Compartmentalize your design by using grids to create a balanced layout. Avoid clutter and stick to simple designs emphasizing the essential information on each slide.

3. Optimize typography

To maintain consistency, restrict the use of various font styles and sizes. Besides this, make sure your text is easily readable by using suitable font sizes and line spacing.

4. Incorporate impactful images

Select premium images that complement your content and bring visual appeal to your slides.

Ensure the graphics harmonize cohesively and elevate the overall aesthetics of your presentation. Pay attention to image sizes and resolutions to prevent pixelation or distortion.

5. Emphasize one point per slide

Ensure each slide focuses on a single main idea to maintain audience engagement and avoid overwhelming them with information.

Besides this, to effectively convey your message, utilize bullet points or concise phrases. This approach also aids in the audience’s better retention of the essential points.

6. Add white space around elements

Use white space strategically to separate different content sections and make elements stand out. Also, this will give your slides a clean and organized look.

7. Practice your verbal presentation

A well-designed PowerPoint presentation is only as effective as the presenter’s ability to communicate the content. Practice your verbal presentation skills to confidently and clearly deliver your message.

Run your presentation by a colleague or friend for feedback and make any necessary adjustments before presenting it to your audience.

In a nutshell, designing a professional-looking website in PowerPoint requires careful planning and attention to detail. Remember to keep your design simple, focus on one point per slide, and also practice your verbal presentation skills to ensure a successful outcome.

Wrapping It Up

Creating a website using PowerPoint is a simple and effective way to showcase your content without the need for extensive coding knowledge.

By adhering to this comprehensive guide, you can effortlessly create a visually captivating and highly functional website. Now that you’re equipped with these skills, it’s time to implement them and create your unique website using PowerPoint.

Besides this, don’t forget to explore additional resources and tutorials to enhance your website-building abilities.

So, are you ready to take the next step? Share your newly created website with friends, colleagues, or potential clients and gather valuable feedback to improve your work. Happy designing!

Show Websites in PowerPoint

By Kurt Dupont

There are tools available to show websites on PowerPoint slides like LiveWeb and LiveSlides . I’m recommending them often. You can use that to draw a web browser object on your slide, and then specify the URL to show in there. When you run your slideshow, you will see that website on a given slide. Every time the slide is shown, the website output is rebuilding and displayed again on your television screen or other display. People often use this technique to grab legacy data from a reporting website or e.g. to show local weather information.

This technique does have a few caveats because of the web-browser technology:

No PowerPoint Shape

In PowerPoint, you have great shapes like text boxes, tables, rectangles, etc. You can transform and modify these native PowerPoint shapes to fit your design needs. With LiveWeb and LiveSlides, this is not true. They basically place a web browser object on your slide. And even that is not a normal native PowerPoint shape that you can modify with shape editing tools in PowerPoint.

Not Editable

A text box or any other native PowerPoint shape can be formatted. Borders, fill colors, fonts, etc. can be changed, and font formatting such as bold, caps, shadows, and so on can be applied. What you display in a web browser shape, though, is static. The designer of the website determines the look and feel on your slideshow. You have no control beyond that.

On the other hand, you can use our DataPoint add-in for PowerPoint to get in raw data like weather , for example, and then use it within text boxes and images that you format as you deem fit.

No Brand or House Style

Since you have no control over the layout of the website, you cannot comply with your company’s design guidelines and house style. This results in the website’s appearance jarring with the rest of your presentation.

Website Build-up Visible

This may be the worst problem. Every time a slide is presented, a complete rebuild of the website is executed in front of the audience. You see an empty web browser, and then the text shows up, followed by images that are loaded one by one. Maybe you don’t mind, but in the professional digital signage or AV industry, this delayed technology is not acceptable. They want to see the website output in an instant.

So, is there a better way? Yes indeed, and we call this the DataPoint way.

The DataPoint Way

Use LiveSlides and LiveWeb when you don’t mind all the disadvantages listed above. However, if you want results that are different and more professional, then take a look at the DataPoint way.

DataPoint is also able to show websites on your slides but it uses a different technology. It takes an image of the website in the background and shows that up-to-date image on your slide. With this approach, you have the advantage that no build-up of the website is visible on your television screens or other displays. Loading a picture is very quick. You even have the option to transform that image into a circle or put a dark transparent layer over it.

DataPoint has two options to accomplish this objective. You can generate and grab that image locally on the display computer (while the slideshow is running), or you can use a server to generate the images for you.

Sometimes the technology used on websites is complicated, and the local website grabber technology is not to be able to capture exactly what you need. In that case, you are better off by using the server-side website grabber technology.

1. Local Capture

Everything starts by just inserting a normal and dummy images on your slide. Access the Insert tab of the Ribbon and click the Pictures button. In the resultant dialog box, browse to a picture that you can start with. Any picture will do. It will be replaced by your website in a moment. While you have this dummy picture selected, click the DataPoint | Web URL option, and the form shown in Figure 1 , below will open.

Now, select or fill in these options:

Source: Local Website URL: Type in a web URL Width and Height : Add values as needed Timeout and Delay : Add values as needed URL refresh rate: Select the Only once at opening of the presentation option or select the Continuous updating option, and choose a time.

When done, click the OK button and DataPoint will procure a captured image of the website that you specified as the URL. This can take a few seconds to complete. Once done, the picture you inserted on your slide earlier, is replaced with the captured image of the website. You can resize this picture as you need.

Note that rather than setting the width and height of the image, you can check the option for a Full page image. When you check this option, DataPoint clears the height and will change the height accordingly to the content of the website.

Furthermore, you have an option to set a timeout and you can specify a delay before an image is taken. This can be handy if you don’t want to capture the first moment if you have some animation on the page and you want to delay the captured image to make sure that the animation is running or completed.

Finally, you can set the refresh rate. In Figure 1, above, we set DataPoint to refresh every 30 seconds the captured image of the website, to show changes.

2. Server-Side Capture

Local capturing will probably work for 90-95% of the websites. However, another technology is used where it is not possible to capture all information from some websites. Typically, this happens when you are missing a layer with some sources, such as traffic or weather info.

In such scenarios, DataPoint can now capture such websites via a remote web server. We have selected ApiFlash for this purpose.

ApiFlash Pricing

Sign up on the ApiFlash site , and you will be provided with an access key, that needs to added within the Access key text box, shown in Figure 2 , below.

The rest of the options are all identical to Local capture.

Play your presentation, and every 30 seconds (or whatever value you specified), a new image will be captured and updated on your slide. This change happens very smoothly, and you will not even see content updating.

He started by working at airports worldwide to set up airport databases and flight information screens. This evolved to become the basis for PresentationPoint .

7 Ways to Present a Website to Clients Before Going Live

How-to guides.

In this post, we’ll cover 7 quick and easy ways to present a website and get actionable feedback for launch.

Your team has worked hard designing, building, and developing a website.

Now it’s time to present it to the client before it goes live.

Collecting client feedback is crucial for any web dev agency.

It's important to:

• Understand if the client is happy with the website
• Identify any remaining bugs and issues
• Move closer to getting sign-off

How to Present a Website to Clients Before Going Live

Before presenting a website to a client, ensure clear communication lines.

Make sure they know how to give feedback and what kind of feedback you need . Otherwise, you’ll end up with something like this:

That's not helpful when developers need specifics to make fixes or changes.

Before it’s time to present the beta version of the website:

• Involve the client at earlier stages like design mockups and assets like web copy.
• Provide clients with timescales and the feedback process for the beta website presentation.
• If you have an easy-to-use feedback tool like Marker.io, install it on the staging site. It saves time by sending feedback or bug reports directly to your PM tool.
• Conduct internal QA so the client doesn't see issues that should have been fixed beforehand.
• Ensure the website is not accessible by other sources.

Once you’ve done all of this, you’re ready to present a website to a client.

Method 1: Set up a staging environment

Staging is a clone of your live website in a staging environment, so you can test changes before it goes live without breaking the site.

With the client website in a staging environment, they can test it without worrying about breaking anything.

And then apply all of the feedback to the live but unpublished version of the site before it goes live.

This usually involves setting up a subdomain like “staging.yourwebsite.com,” where all site assets and the database are copied.

It will look exactly as it would when it goes live.

Here’s the pros and cons of using staging environments:

• Establishes a comprehensive testing environment
• You can test changes in real-time
• Use this for user acceptance testing , beta testing with dedicated testers , and other users, especially for big clients.
• Requires technical know-how to setup
• Implement changes on the live (unpublished) version, not the staging environment

Pro tips for staging environments

• Make sure this environment isn’t indexed by search engines (more about this below).
• Remember to limit access through IP whitelisting (advanced), or use password protection

Use a tool like Marker.io to collect website presentation feedback from your client.

When Marker.io is setup in the staging environment, the widget will only appear on the staging site. That means only people with access to staging can give feedback (e.g., your client and other stakeholders).

Once the site is live, you can use it on the live version, too, so that the client and web visitors/users can submit feedback.

Marker.io is a powerful, user-friendly tool for bug-reporting, crash-reporting, and visual feedback.

With Marker.io, you can:

• Collect website beta testing bug reports with screenshots and annotations for changes on live or staging sites.
• Use session replay to see what a client was doing before sending a bug or feedback report, saving time for dev teams.
• Collect data-rich bug reports , including automatic environment and record logs capture.
• Use our Network Request Recorder tool . Explore browser logs as if you were looking at the client’s browser dev tools.
• Ensure every piece of feedback and bug report is automatically synced with your PM tool (e.g., Jira, GitHub, Trello, Asana, and others).

You can do all of that and so much more with Marker.io.

Save hours on client website feedback, reviews, and approvals— try Marker.io for free today .

Pricing: starts at $39/mo.

Method 2: Use prototyping tools

Prototyping tools are incredibly useful during the design stage of a website project.

Platforms like Figma or InVision let you upload mockups/wireframes that clients can interact with in real time.

This way, your design team knows what clients like and want to change before developers implement the designs.

Clients can annotate and add comments right on the files, which is great for real-time design feedback.

If your website is live or in a staging environment, use Marker.io to collect feedback as mentioned above.

• Makes it super easy for clients to give feedback
• A professional way to present a client's website
• Simple to implement and a great solution for non-tech-savvy clients to give feedback
• Many tools have version control features to track changes, allowing you to revert to an earlier version if needed.
• Limited to the capabilities of the tool
• Requires SOME training to use the tool effectively for clients
• Mockups (Figma/InVision) show visual representations, not functional ones. Some tools allow for some interaction, but it’s limited

Method 3: Real-time presentations (virtual or in-person)

One of the best ways to present a new website is through a screen-sharing meeting via Zoom or Google Meet, going over the pre-launch website with your client step-by-step.

Real-time presentations are great for instant feedback and continuous relationship-building with the client.

If possible, do it in person by connecting your laptop to a large monitor, TV, or projector and guiding the client through the website.

• Instant client feedback
• Build better client relationships
• Easier to explain why certain features and functionality work according to the client's specs.
• Depending on the number of stakeholders involved, scheduling can be a challenge
• Not suitable for larger teams as not everyone can always attend, and waiting for key stakeholders can delay input.

Method 4: Set up a subdomain

Setting up a subdomain is another presentation method that’s similar to staging but easier and quicker to implement.

Create a subdomain like preview.yourwebsite.com where the client can see the final, pre-launch website.

It doesn’t require as much technical know-how as establishing a full staging environment. You should still password-protect the subdomain and prevent search engine indexing.

Use a bug tracking and feedback plugin like Marker.io on the subdomain for quick, easy, and integrated feedback.

• Easier to set up than a full staging site.
• Allows for client interaction and feedback, and bug reporting/feedback plugins, the next best thing to staging.
• Lacks staging features, e.g., database isolation, error logging, and version control.
• Still necessary to ensure changes are made under the primary domain, not the sub-domain.

Method 5: Password-protected websites

If the client’s website doesn’t have any traffic yet, this is the easiest method by far.

Everything is set up within the production environment, but only those with the password can access it.

It’s a basic layer of security but works for quick feedback sessions and presentations.

Perfect for new products or websites needing quick iterations without the full staging environment setup.

For WordPress, there are plugins with a simple “password protect” slider/button.

Use a strong password and change it periodically for security until the site’s ready to go live.

• Quickest to implement.
• No technical skill is needed, especially if it’s on WordPress.
• Limited access control.
• In some cases, harder to mimic user roles or permissions this way, as everyone has the same username/login.

Method 6: Temporary URLs

This way, you have a short-term, fully functional URL displaying the pre-launch website for a limited time.

Most hosting providers offer this service. So do temporary URL services.In either case, you can generate temporary URLs as a proxy for your actual site without sharing the domain name.

Make sure to de-index it first and tell your client about the URL’s expiration date

• Perfect for short-term reviews, no DNS settings need altering
• Easy to implement (should only take a few minutes)
• Useful for short review cycles
• Not suitable for long, multiple rounds of revisions
• Limited functionality compared to staging
• Not suitable for sensitive information. Anyone with the URL can access it, though de-indexing should prevent Google from seeing it

Method 7: PDFs and screenshots

Another method is to take full-page screenshots and annotate information about each web page.

This is useful for clients/stakeholders who want to review the visual aspects without real-time interactive feedback.

Make sure to take high-quality/high-resolution screenshots

• No technical skills required
• PDFs can be annotated easily, though not as much as visual feedback/design platforms
• Can be a time-consuming job (take screenshots, paste them into PDF, put the document together...).
• No live interaction or real-time feedback.
• The client may have feedback about functionality after the site goes live, making the process more time-consuming.

Wrapping up...

We hope you enjoyed our guide on how to present client websites during development and design projects.

The easiest way is to use a subdomain or temporary URL and plugin a feedback tool such as Marker.io.

Visual presentations made easy.

Being able to speak well in public is a skill that can help you throughout your lifetime. You can probably think of famous people that were known for their speaking ability such as Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King.  They were able to accomplish great things because they had an important message and had the skills needed to deliver that message. You can become a good speaker, too!  With the help of your leaders, teachers, and parents, you can learn to give a visual presentation.

What is a Visual Presentation?

Visual presentations teach, entertain, inform or persuade.  There are several different types including a demonstration, illustrated talk or team presentation.

A demonstration is a way to teach others how to do or make something.  In a demonstration, the presenter shows and explains each step of a process.  A finished example of what has been demonstrated should be displayed at the end of a demonstration.

An illustrated talk is a useful way to explain a topic if animals or equipment necessary for the presentation are too large or hard to handle (in Massachusetts, the use of live animals is no longer allowed in a visual presentation).  The presenter depends on models, posters, or charts to explain the topic in an illustrated talk.  A finished example is not required.

A team presentation is given by two presenters.  Each presenter should participate equally in preparing and presenting the information.  A team presentation is actually more difficult to prepare and present. 

How do I get started?

First, you have to decide what you want to talk about.  That may seem pretty simple but it may actually be the hardest part! Choose a topic that shows your interests and passions – this could be something that you do in your 4-H club, community or school. Think about the following: 

• Unusual experiences that you have had such as organizing a conference for teens, a community service experience or your job
• Hobbies that you love
• Subjects that are important to you – recycling, cleaning up your neighborhood or caring for your animal

What should I do after I pick my topic?

Now you must begin to think about what you want to say and gather your information.  Try to think about what your audience may want to know and find interesting.  As you begin to plan, remember that visual presentations for juniors (ages 813) must be at least 3 minutes in length and for seniors (ages 14-18) must be at least 7 minutes long. No visual presentation can exceed 10 minutes in length. 

Where can I find information on my topic?

Your leaders, teachers and other club members may know information about your topic that could help you get started.  Your school and public library are also excellent sources.  Of course, a wealth of information is available on the Internet. 

How should I arrange my information?

A visual presentation is made up of three parts:  the introduction, the body of the presentation, and the conclusion.

The Introduction:  This is the part of the presentation where you have to grab your audience’s attention.  A good introduction will:

• Get the audience interested in your topic and make them want to hear what you have to say
• Tell the audience what they will learn if they listen to you 

There are several ways to introduce your topic.  You could start with a story or a joke but make sure it relates to your topic!  Other ways to do this include giving some history about your topic or telling the audience something that has happened in your life that made you interested in your topic.  You could also choose to use an interesting quote that you gathered in researching your topic.  These are just suggestions to help you think creatively about how to introduce your visual presentation. The Body of the Presentation:  This is the part of your presentation where you tell people what you want to tell them! It should: 

• Explain how to do something if you are doing a demonstration or explain how something works if you are doing an illustrated talk
• Include how-to steps the audience can follow 
• Be clear and logical 
• Not include too much information; be appropriate for the time you have

It is usually best to outline your speech and not write out an entire speech in narrative format.  Reading a speech is not allowed and memorization is not a good idea.  If you forget one phrase, it is often difficult to continue on.

Note cards are allowed.  Use an outline format or key words and phrases that remind you of what you need to say.  Again, do not read off your note cards but use them to refer to if needed as you go along.  You can also use posters like note cards.

The Conclusion:  This is the final part of your presentation.  It is very important because it is your last chance to leave your audience with the feeling they have learned something.  During your conclusion: 

• Repeat the most important points that you want your audience to remember
• Do not introduce any new material 

What type of equipment should I use?

The type of equipment you use depends on the type of presentation you are going to give.  Some things to keep in mind: 

• Use equipment suitable for the job and the age of the presenter
• Clear glass bowls are best for food demonstrations for visibility
• Have towels available for spills
• Cover the table, if you are using it
• And, remember to test your equipment before you begin your presentation 

How should I set up my work area?

It is important that you arrange your area so that your audience can see what you are doing at all times.  A neat, clean workspace will help you find your materials more easily.  Setting up your materials in order will help you remember what comes next in your presentation.  Take the time you need before you begin your presentation to set up your work area the way you need it. 

When should I use a poster?

Posters are used to help the audience to understand your topic. They are used to illustrate your presentation and to help your audience understand important information or steps in a process.

It is important that your posters be well done and not detract from your presentation.  Limit the amount of information and visuals you put on any one poster; less is better. Make sure all lettering is large, neat and dark enough to be read from the back of the room. 

What should I wear?

Remember that people often form a first impression based on appearance.  Wear neat, casual clothing; school clothes are usually fine.  Think about your topic and dress appropriately.  Remember that you want people to focus on your presentation so try to eliminate possible distractions by keeping hair off your face (you may want to tie back long hair) and avoid wearing a lot of jewelry.

What if I get nervous?

Being nervous is not all bad; it can actually help you make a good presentation.  Good speakers use their nervous energy to make their presentations more exciting.  So, take a few deep breaths and begin your presentation.  The nervousness is usually at its worst before you actually start. Once you begin your presentation it usually gets better! Make sure that you are well prepared and you’ll have nothing to worry about! 

Final hints:

Before your presentation: 

• Practice, practice, practice!  This is the most important part
• Make sure you know your material
• Make a list of all the equipment you need and check all equipment to make sure it works 

During your presentation:

• Speak in a loud, clear voice
• Look at your audience as you speak; eye contact is important
• Use natural hand movements and make sure your movements are not distracting
• If you use note cards, they are for reference only:  You may not read your presentation
