A new WordPress plugin called seoslides aims to bring slides straight to your WordPress website. Alorum worked with 10up to build seoslides. You can build presentations right in the WordPress admin using a fancy HTML 5 canvas interface, and you can import slides from other websites, PDFs, PowerPoint, Keynote, etc. The plugin is free with a paid upgrade of $200 per year. It’s a bit expensive for your amateur speaker, but perhaps a good deal for those who frequent speaking circuits.
I played with the plugin, and I can tell it’s a beta release, but it’s definitely promising. Kudos to the team at Alorum and 10up on building something that solves a problem and uses WordPress in an interesting way.
10up is always a guarantee of quality! Nice! I’ll test it right now.
Thanks for covering this!
It definitely has the “beta” label for a reason – while it “works”, and we think it provides value right now, there’s definitely some fit and finish we’re working on as we speak.
It’s also worth highlighting that you can always, forever build presentations and display your presentations in seoslides at no cost. Completely open source / GPL. The slide conversion services and seoslid.es aggregrator site (that will provide serious SEO juice over time – and I see this as a skeptic of anything with the word SEO in it) are SaaS based services that incur cost to run and maintain.
We’re committed to this product, and eager for feedback, especially as we soften some of the beta edges!
Thanks Jake for your extra insight. Good point on the pricing. I look forward to seeing how seoslides evolves.
