The growth of websites is somewhat perpetual. Today there is hardly a single business that does not have some form of website coverage. Now, more and more people are becoming website designers. Website development is in continuous flux and new techniques are also being introduced. There are many businesses that strongly require the implementation of presentations on their websites. Presentation can be defined as organized, visual details engineered to create an overall impression; usually positive one way or another.

Languages like Javascript, HTML5, and others help to embed features into various web pages. But these languages can be time consuming, so web developers have found a flexible way to use them within web pages.  That flexible method works through the aide of frameworks. WordPress is a well-known open source platform, providing the flexibility to use presentations within web pages.

There are lots of JavaScript and HTML5 presentation frameworks available for creation of modern layouts for web pages requiring presentation features. These frameworks are the simplest way to create presentations for browsers and facilitate web development in an easier way.
