Introduction
For those with some experience with computer programming or HTML/CSS, another option is to create a browser-based presentation using one of these tools. If you are comfortable with tinkering with code a bit, these presentations can look professional, incorporate nice animations and only require an internet connection and a modern browser.
Imprys App
If you would prefer to create HTML-based presentations on your iPad, there is an app for that! Try Imprys, which has a free "lite" version and a $4.99 "fully featured" version.
