There are lots of occasions in most industries where you may need to give a presentation. Whether it is a sales pitch, a product demonstration, training for your team or a financial briefing, sometimes you need some good slides to accompany you when you are talking to clients or staff. Of course, for the last few decades the usual tool for creating presentations was Microsoft PowerPoint, however in modern times, many professionals have migrated from MS Office to using web based platforms for things like document, spreadsheet and presentation creation.

One web app that can be used for making presentations, as well as lots of other visual assets, is a product called Visme. Visme claims to be easy to use even for people with little or no design skills, and to deliver great results. So is it as good as it says it is?
Simplicity
The ease of using Visme is quite remarkable, especially if you are used to PowerPoint. PowerPoint always managed to make simple things like aligning stuff on a slide a total nightmare, but with Visme you'll find yourself creating slides far more quickly. It is not just easy to create the presentation itself, but also to create graphics you can use in your presentation or independently (for example infographics for your website, or graphs for reports). Adding multimedia features like video to a presentation is also as easy as you could hope for it to be, as is publishing your presentation if you want to put it online or share it with people who couldn't makethe meeting.

Stylish Results
As well as being fast and easy, Visme also has the edge when it comes to the design and styling of the built in templates and graphic assets. While many presentation making packages have dated, boring looking assets to use in presentations, Visme's look fresh, modern and attractive, and are also very easy to customize in terms of color and size. You can of course import in your own images to use (for instance your company logo), but for things like diagrams, flow charts, graphs and text, Visme can let you make something that looks impressive with no design skills whatsoever, even if you only have a small amount of time to prepare a presentation for this afternoon!
Value
Premium Visme licenses start at $6 per month, but there is also the Basic package which you can use for free – you just have to register or sign in via Facebook. This obviously represents great value, especially considering the rich capabilities Visme offers (take a look at this video to see just some of what you can do with it).
In conclusion, Visme is the best presentation building platform we've found, winning over its rivals on ease of use, quality of final presentations, and value for money. You can use the free version right away, so why not check it out and see what Visme has the potential to do for you and your work!
