Predesigned Templates and Themes

Slidebean comes with hundreds of amazing predesigned templates and themes for you to choose from. There are themes specially tuned for startups, businesses, academic and sales domains. However only a handful of themes are available if you are starting out as a free account. And when one looks closer, all these themes seems to be mechanical and similar to one another in essence, i.e they all look like slight variations of each other. This might not be an issue for most of us as we are fine with anything that looks great and do not care about how they are similar to each other.

Presentation Creation Experience

You can start off right away from any of the available templates or you can start from scratch. Slidebean has a wizard that asks you a few questions to pre-popuplate the presentation according to your responses. Most of these questions are corresponding to the theme you pick from.

Slidebean editor is essentially divided into two segments.

• Outline: Where you write content and structure
• Design: Where you with the Slidebean AI builds a beautiful layout from your content
