Consultants and small teams often need slide decks built from scattered source material. This checklist is for a presentation designer organizing intake, design, revisions, accessibility review, and final file delivery.
How to use this list
Handle business registration and professional liability insurance first. Define the presentation design service menu and slide package price sheet, then set the client service agreement and revision policy. Collect the presentation brief form, audience profile questionnaire, brand asset request form, and source content request list. Prepare the slide template library, licensed stock image account, presentation software subscription, and version naming convention. Use the proof approval form, accessibility review checklist, editable file handoff agreement, and invoice template to close the project.
Common mistakes
Do not design for an undefined audience. The audience profile questionnaire should guide the presentation brief. Avoid using stock images without the licensed stock image account. Do not let versions become confusing; apply the version naming convention from the first draft. Editable files should be handed off only under the editable file handoff agreement.
What is on this list
The checklist includes service and pricing setup, project intake, audience and brand inputs, source-content requests, templates, licensed images, software, version control, proof approval, accessibility review, handoff, and invoicing. Cross off the assets and systems you already maintain.
When you are done
Run the accessibility review checklist, send the proof approval form, and deliver files using the agreed version naming convention. Follow the editable file handoff agreement where applicable and send the invoice template after final delivery.
