Same deck. Same words.

A loan pitch for a three-shop coffee company, built as a spec. Twelve slides in, fourteen out: two beats pulled from the deck’s own numbers, nothing rewritten, every slide rebuilt. Drag the handle.

Title slide before: default blue gradient, WordArt heading, clip-art coffee cup
Title slide after: deep green ground with the brand mark as a macro texture, a two-line title anchored bottom-left
AfterBefore

Burley Street Coffee is a brand we made up to show the work. The numbers are invented.

Sales chart
Sales chart before: 3D bars in three default colors
Before
Sales chart after: three flat bars, the projection in yellow, the note beside the title
After
Three reasons
Why it works before: three gradient boxes with underlined headings
Before
Why it works after: title bottom-left, three numbered columns on hairlines
After
Budget table
Budget table before: blue header row, striped rows, yellow total
Before
Budget table after: borderless rows on the left, the total as a giant number under one yellow rule
After
Timeline
Timeline before: orange line with blue circles
Before
Timeline after: a rail across the slide, five big month names, the last stop marked in yellow
After
The ask
The ask before: red serif number over bullets
Before
The ask after: $260,000 fills the bottom of the slide in yellow, terms in a column beside it
After
All fourteen, after
All fourteen rebuilt slides in a grid
After

And then it moves.

Same deck, as a motion version: headlines rise line by line, numbers count up, bars grow from the baseline, one yellow wipe between sections. Built from the same file as the PowerPoint, exported as video or a web deck.

Every rebuild gets this treatment: type and spacing fixed, charts redrawn from your numbers, tables rebuilt, clip art gone, one accent color used on purpose, slide masters set so the next person who edits it can’t break it.

Three ways in

Pick the one that matches where you are. If you’re not sure, the call sorts it out.

1

Deck rebuild

For the deck you already have

Send it over. It comes back with the same story on your brand: every slide designed, charts redrawn from your numbers, tables rebuilt, the type and spacing fixed. Nothing rewritten unless you ask.

  • Any length, any state. Yes, that one.
  • Speaker notes kept, slide order kept.
  • Masters and layouts set so it stays fixed.
  • Same day. Morning in, afternoon out.
  • Motion version (video or web deck) as an add-on.

2

Brand deck template

For a team that makes its own decks

A master file in your brand with the layouts people actually use: title, section, bullets, two-column, chart, table, timeline, quote, big number, team, end. Your team builds from it and it looks like this without a designer in the room.

  • Chart and table styles set, so numbers look right by default.
  • An icon set and image frames in your colors.
  • A one-page how-to for the team.
  • Same day from your brand files.
Quoted on the callby layout count and formats
3

New deck from a brief

For the pitch, the loan, the board, the sale

Tell us what you need to get out of the room. We write the outline, you approve it, we build the deck. Written to be spoken to, not read off the screen.

  • Outline first, so the story is agreed before design starts.
  • Charts built from your numbers, not stock.
  • A leave-behind version if the deck gets emailed after.
  • Two business days from the approved outline.
Quoted on the callby length and how much research it needs

What’s in every one

  • Editable files PowerPoint by default, Keynote or Google Slides on request
  • Fonts that travel embedded where the format allows, safe fallbacks where it doesn’t
  • Charts from your numbers redrawn, not screenshotted
  • 16:9 and 4:3 or whatever the room’s screen is
  • One round of changes send it all in one go
  • Files you own editable, forever

How it works

Four steps. It starts with a quick call, so we know what the deck has to do before anyone opens it.

1

We talk

Twenty minutes. What the deck is for, who’s in the room, when it’s due, what you’ve got. You get your price on the call.

2

You send

The deck, or your brand files and a brief. A logo and two colors is enough. The clock starts here.

3

We build

Every slide designed, charts redrawn, masters set. Rebuilds and templates the same day, new decks in two business days from the approved outline.

4

You present

Editable files in the format you present from, tested on a machine without your fonts. One round of changes included.

Who asks for this

Owners with a meeting

A bank, a landlord, a buyer, a board. The deck is the first thing they see and the last thing you want to be building at midnight.

Sales and marketing teams

Everyone copies the last deck and it’s been drifting for two years. A rebuild resets it, a template keeps it reset.

Agencies and consultants

You wrote it, it’s due Thursday, and the design bench is full. We build it behind your name.

Questions

What does it cost?

It depends on the slide count and what’s on the slides, so every deck is quoted on the call. Twenty minutes, and you’ll have a number before you hang up.

PowerPoint, Keynote or Google Slides?

Whichever you present from. We build in PowerPoint by default and deliver Keynote or Google Slides versions on request. You get the editable file, not a PDF of it.

Do you rewrite our words?

Not in a rebuild, unless you ask. We’ll flag a slide that’s doing too much and suggest a split, but the story stays yours. A new deck from a brief is different: writing the outline is the first step.

We don’t have a brand guide.

A logo and a couple of colors is enough to start. If you want a real brand guide, we make those too.

Will our fonts work on other people’s computers?

Yes. We embed the fonts where the format allows it and pick system-safe fallbacks where it doesn’t, and we test the file on a machine that doesn’t have your fonts installed.

How fast?

Rebuilds and templates come back the same day we get your files: in the morning, back that afternoon. A new deck is two business days from the approved outline, most of it spent getting the outline right.

Can it move?

Yes. Every deck can ship as a motion version too: headlines rise, numbers count up, charts grow, one wipe between sections, exported as an MP4 you can play anywhere or a web deck you present from a browser. It comes from the same file as the PowerPoint, so the two never drift. Ask for it on the call.

Can I get changes?

One round is included. Send everything that’s off in one go and we fix it.

Who owns the files?

You do. Editable, forever.
