Inside a presentation template system: how we built 37 master slides for Yuno

Yuno, a global payments platform, produces presentations constantly: product updates, sales decks, partner materials and board reports. Every new deck used to mean another design request, another delay and another inconsistency. Instead of designing one more presentation, we built the system behind all of them, in one week.

Start from the decks people actually make

A template fails when it is designed around a cover and a few pretty layouts, and then real content arrives. So we started from the content situations a fintech team faces every week and gave each one a layout: processes, comparisons, timelines, team, data and covers.

• Processes in 2, 3, 4 and 5+ steps.
• Comparisons in two and three columns.
• Team grids, horizontal timelines and roadmap breakdowns.
• Quote slides and section dividers.
• Data slides with chart and table placeholders already built in.

One accent, used with intent

The visual language is high-contrast: deep blacks and graphite for a premium dark theme, crisp whites and soft greys for light. A single electric blue accent guides the eye to key metrics, calls to action and critical financial data, never to decoration. One accent is a rule people can follow without a designer in the room.

What the system contains

• 37 core master slides, each in several layout variations.
• Two complete themes, light and dark.
• Nine layout categories, from processes to data.
• A custom asset pack, with Titillium Web for headlines and body.

Why masters, not example slides

Example slides get copied, edited and drift. Master layouts with real placeholders keep titles in place, text at the right size and charts in the right colours, whoever builds the deck. That is the difference between a template and a style guide, which we wrote about in brand guidelines are not a template.

The result

A plug-and-play system that lets the Yuno team build consistent, executive-grade decks in hours instead of weeks, without a design request. It also means any old deck can be moved onto the new master quickly, which is the job wetria's Adapt to template does.
