Document templates

We’re really good at these… From a simple set of corporate stationery templates, to highly automated document production solutions, Metaone has the experience and expertise to add another level of value and control to your communications.

We design and produce templates to work with all versions of Microsoft Office on both Macs and PCs. We also use all of the standard design industry packages such as InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop and we can translate your designs from these applications into client friendly templates for Microsoft Office.

Typical Microsoft Word templates include: Corporate stationery — Reports — Factsheets — Newsletters — Briefing documents — Financial reports We don’t just stop at building high quality templates either.

For many of our customers, we add custom toolbars to help authors keep documents ‘on brand’ and can provide easy to use tools for creating automatically styled charts and tables.

Presentation templates

Quality, consistency of design and ease of use.

The demand for high quality, on-brand presentations has never been greater. Why spend time struggling to get things to look just right in PowerPoint, when that time would be better spent perfecting the content and fine tuning the text? For total control, we can even build custom toolbars for PowerPoint which can include options specifically designed for your corporate template. These can include special colour palettes, custom slide layouts table and chart styling tools.

Here at Metaone, we have created many high quality PowerPoint templates and presentations for some of the world’s leading companies. Our expertise and knowledge of PowerPoint has helped many companies deliver consistent, on-brand, visually stunning presentations – we have even helped structure content as well.

If you already have a presentation template, but feel that it lacks that extra sparkle, or you feel it needs some refinement then why not talk to Metaone?

Software development

Sometimes a template just isn’t enough.

When a higher degree of control over design and content is required, we can provide bespoke tools to help. Ranging from simple custom toolbar options in Microsoft Word templates for creating e-letters or managing document styling, through to highly automated document compilation software and content conversion – for instance to HTML emails. Our custom template tools and software are used by leading financial companies, research firms, law firms, Government departments and a number of blue chip companies.

All of our software solutions are designed around your requirements. We take the time and effort to understand precisely what is needed before making our recommendations. If you already have a document publishing or presentation project then why not talk to Metaone?
