A digital-transformation roadmap for a legacy insurer — the diagnosis, the sequenced bets, and the operating rhythm to land them. Built as a decision-grade consulting deck for client executives.

Cormorant Garamond serif on warm paper with sage, blush, and lemon accents.

A single self-contained HTML deck — typography, palette, decorative system, and slide vocabulary are all tuned together. Mixing layouts across templates breaks the system; stay inside this one.

At a glance

  • Scheme: light
  • Formality: high
  • Density: low
  • Slides in demo: 12

Best for

Anything that should feel literary, elegant, and unhurried: editorial features, longform brand stories, gallery / museum decks, advisory deliverables, wedding / lifestyle media, founder essays. Equally good for tech, research, or business decks that want a Sunday-supplement warmth instead of corporate polish.

Avoid for

Decks that need visual heat or punch — the warm-paper palette and Cormorant serif are intentionally quiet.

Workflow

  1. Clone example.html AND the assets/ folder into the user's workspace. This template ships an assets/deck-stage.js runtime (keyboard navigation, stage rendering); the HTML references it as assets/deck-stage.js, so the file must sit next to the cloned HTML or that path will 404 in the generated artifact and navigation will silently break. Inlining the JS into a single <script> block in the HTML is an acceptable alternative when a single self-contained file is preferred.
  2. Replace placeholder content with the user's real headlines, body copy, numbers, names, dates, and section labels. Match existing dimensions when swapping image placeholders.
  3. Preserve the design system. Never substitute fonts, recolor the palette, restructure the layout grid, or strip decorative elements (corner brackets, paper grain, geometric shapes, illustrated SVGs). They are part of the identity.
  4. Adjust deck length by duplicating layouts. If the user has more content than the demo holds, duplicate an existing slide of the most appropriate layout. If less, drop slides from the bottom. Update page-number labels.
  5. Designing missing layouts: if a slide needs a layout the template doesn't have, design it from scratch using the same fonts, palette, decorative vocabulary, spacing rhythm, and component grammar — never bail to a different template.
  6. Keep the navigation runtime as shipped. If the deck ships an assets/deck-stage.js or inline keyboard handler, leave it intact.
