Funny you say that. I've moved my presentation workflow entirely to HTML5+JS. d3 is amazeballs and should be used at every available instance (and so is raphae

  Interesting. May I ask you for a few estimates? How much preparation did you put into your templates approximately? How long does it take you to do a quick one-off? How long for a professional looking presentation for public speaking?

    Mine may not apply to yours. In presentation to clients, I write reports/presentations per scenario/campaign. I use your bog standard Initializr+Bootstrap, the visualizations have been previsualized on ggplot, and then translated into d3 where it makes sense. How long does it take? 2 - 5 days per report/preso. Like I said, it mayn't apply to everyone. I have the luxury of time. I don't usually do the presentation (can't recall when I did one). Speaking in public (even to normal people on a non presenter basis) terrifies me

      Oh. Ok. 2 days is actually at the high end of what I do, and this is for a 50min presentation. Of course, the visuals are usually based on work I already did before - instead of designing stuff with pen and paper I usually begin drawing my ideas directly in a quick Keynote presentation, that way I can show it to other people / at internal meetings easily. I'd be interested to see one of your presentations though, in case they're not all confidential. I think your approach might make sense for product launches for example - where it needs to look even more professional than the junk I do. If you're interested I could also send you an example Keynote file if you have a mac, just to see the quality difference.

        Nah they're not product launches. They're client-side reporting that is presented.
