Express Points: A New Free PowerPoint Alternative from NCH

Need to give a report? Presenting a paper or results? Making a sales pitch? PowerPoint has been the standard for creating slide presentations for all these uses and more, but for many, it has also become a crutch. The Internet is littered with advice and the Dos and Don'ts of making effective presentations. Audiences have become numb and turned off to excessive use of standard templates and poorly planned presentations.

Hands down, no matter what program you use, thinking out the presentation, and what media, elements, and ideas you need to support and enhance what you have to say will make a world of difference more than the actual application used to make it. Like a calculator only being as smart as its user, adding slides won't make a presentation better just because they are there. That being said, if you are looking for an alternative program, we hope you will try the new Express Points Presentation Software.

As with all of our software, we have approached this application with the goal of making everything as easy as possible, so you can focus on what you want to say and do instead of how to get it done. We hope you will give Express Points a try when working on your next presentation, and give us your feedback on how we can improve it in future releases to make it even more effective.
