Design Effective Web Presentations

To create an effective PowerPoint presentation that you can publish to the World Wide Web or to your intranet, apply the same design principles that you would use to create any other PowerPoint presentation: Divide subject matter into “bite-sized” pieces, present each piece in a graphically pleasing format, and then reveal them in a logical, predetermined sequence. Also, keep the following guidelines in mind when designing for the Web:

Keep it clean   Don’t clutter your slides with distractions. Clear, easy-to-read presentations make easy-to-read Web pages.

Use large fonts   Typically, the PowerPoint Internet Assistant reduces the size of text in converted presentations. After you convert the presentation to HTML format, small text may be difficult to read.
