Brand Integration

Before generating slides, check if brand/brand.json exists.

If brand files exist:

Override any preset with brand colors:
- brand.colors.primary → --accent
- brand.colors.background → --bg (or use a preset and just override accent)
- brand.colors.text → --text
Use brand fonts:
- brand.fonts.heading → --heading-font
- brand.fonts.body → --body-font
Add brand logo to title slide if brand/assets/logo.svg or brand/assets/logo.png exists
Apply tone-of-voice to slide content

If no brand files exist:

Use the selected preset as-is
Default to "Midnight" preset if no preference given

Slide Types

When generating presentations, use these slide patterns:

Title Slide

Centered layout. Large heading, subtitle, optional logo. Used for opening and section breaks.

<div class="slide slide-title">
  <h1>Presentation Title</h1>
  <p>Subtitle or tagline</p>
</div>

Content Slide

Title with bullet points. The workhorse slide for most content.

<div class="slide">
  <h2>Section Title</h2>
  <ul>
    <li><strong>Key point</strong> — supporting detail</li>
    <li><strong>Key point</strong> — supporting detail</li>
    <li><strong>Key point</strong> — supporting detail</li>
  </ul>
</div>

Quote Slide

Large quote with attribution. Use for customer testimonials, founding principles, or impactful statements.

<div class="slide">
  <blockquote>
    "The quote goes here."
    <cite>— Attribution</cite>
  </blockquote>
</div>

Code Slide

Syntax-displayed code block. For technical presentations, API demos, architecture explanations.

<div class="slide">
  <h2>Implementation</h2>
  <pre><code>const example = 'code here';</code></pre>
</div>

Stats/Numbers Slide

Grid of key metrics. For traction, impact, or comparison data.

<div class="slide">
  <h2>By The Numbers</h2>
  <div class="stats-grid">
    <div>
      <div class="stat-number">{{NUMBER}}</div>
      <div class="stat-label">{{LABEL}}</div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Two-Column Slide

Side-by-side content. For comparisons, before/after, pros/cons.

<div class="slide">
  <div class="two-columns">
    <h2>Title</h2>
    <div><!-- Left column --></div>
    <div><!-- Right column --></div>
  </div>
</div>

Image Slide

Full-bleed image or side-by-side image with text.

<!-- Full bleed -->
<div class="slide" style="padding: 0;">
  <img class="image-full" src="{{IMAGE_URL}}" alt="{{ALT}}">
</div>

<!-- Side by side -->
<div class="slide">
  <div class="image-side">
    <img src="{{IMAGE_URL}}" alt="{{ALT}}">
    <div>
      <h2>Title</h2>
      <p>Description alongside the image.</p>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

CTA/Closing Slide

Final slide with clear call to action.

<div class="slide slide-title">
  <h1>Get Started</h1>
  <p>website.com | hello@company.com</p>
</div>

Best Practices

Content Rules

Maximum 6 bullet points per slide — less is more
One idea per slide — if it needs two ideas, make two slides
Use <strong> for key terms — they render in the accent color
Keep headlines under 8 words
Speaker notes can be verbose — slides should not be

Design Rules

Default padding (5vw) keeps content away from edges — don't override unless full-bleed
Use clamp() for font sizes — already built into the template for responsiveness
Stats grid auto-fits: 2 stats = 2 columns, 3 = 3 columns, 4 = 2x2 grid
Code blocks have overflow-x auto — long lines won't break the layout

Presentation Tips

F for fullscreen before presenting
Test with Ctrl+P to verify PDF output looks correct
Speaker notes (P key) only show on presenter's screen in browser
Share the .html file directly — recipients just double-click to view
Works in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge — no compatibility issues
