The Web-based Google Docs productivity suite includes a minimalist slide show application called Google Docs Presentation. While the software lacks some of the more advanced features available from Microsoft Office PowerPoint, Keynote or LibreOffice Impress, the slimmed down interface enables you to create dynamic slide shows that can be easily displayed on your website. Google Docs Presentation does support basic fade animations on text and images and you can configure a timer delay on embedded presentations that are set to automatically play when your website is loaded.
