FAQ
Communicating your story clearly may sound straightforward, but in practice it often raises quite a few questions. Below, we answer some of the questions we are asked most often to help you get started.
questions about presentations.
If your audience needs to make important decisions, be convinced or understand complex information, a strong presentation can make all the difference. After all, a distinctive product, service or approach deserves a smooth storyline and a powerful visual translation.
You can also read our dedicated blog post, where we explore this in more detail.
An interactive presentation does not have to follow a fixed order from slide 1 to slide 50. With intuitive choice menus and a well-considered branching structure, you can respond flexibly to your audience’s interests and questions while presenting. This makes your presentation more relevant, more dynamic and tailored to the conversation as it unfolds.
Curious how that works in practice? In our blog post about interactivity in presentations, you will discover how to stay firmly in control.
Absolutely. We are not simply designers who create visually impressive slides. We are happy to think along with you about distinctive storylines, logical flow, clear structure, surprising storytelling and sharp key messages, so that your story becomes stronger, more convincing and easier for your audience to remember.
Yes. Xiwa develops presentations entirely in PowerPoint, so you can easily adapt, expand or reuse them afterwards. This open approach is one of our major strengths and delivers an unbeatable return on investment.
That depends on the scope, the input available and the level of support you need. A presentation that only needs a graphic refresh will naturally require a smaller investment than a project where we also help shape the storyline, storytelling and content.

We would not recommend it. A website is designed to be read, while a sales presentation is designed to support a two-way conversation. During a presentation, key messages, visuals and interaction are far more effective than large amounts of text. A website tells the whole story; a sales presentation focuses on what your audience needs to remember and encourages interaction with the customer. A well-structured sales presentation also helps you identify the customer’s needs first, before presenting the solutions they are really looking for.
Of course. We create fully customised PowerPoint templates that fit your brand identity perfectly. Through a well-considered process, we make sure your template not only looks professional, but is also intuitive and user-friendly for every colleague. We can also provide practical tips and tricks so users can get started in the right way from day one. Dedicated e-learning modules and/or training sessions for the new template are also possible.

questions about videos.
A presentation supports a speaker during a conversation or event. A video communicates a message independently and can be shared, watched and reused countless times. The best choice depends on your objective. Good to know: our presentations are endlessly adaptable by you, without any specialist software knowledge, because they are built 100% in PowerPoint.
No, not at all. In fact, many of our video projects are created using existing graphic assets. We combine photos, illustrations, existing videos and other available content into one powerful whole.
That is precisely one of Xiwa’s key strengths: we spot opportunities in material that is already available and turn it into a visually powerful tool, without necessarily needing new footage.
A good video does not start with the camera, but with a strong story.
The cost depends on factors such as animation, filming, duration, voice-over, languages and editing. That is why we always work with a proposal tailored to your objectives, while taking your planned budget into account. Book a short inspiration session using the button at the top of this website, and in a 15-minute call we will give you an initial idea of the cost of your specific project.
Absolutely. In a world where attention is scarce, short videos often work best. They communicate one clear message, attract attention quickly and are ideal for both social media and internal communication. What’s more, you can adapt them quickly yourself, because they are developed 100% in PowerPoint, so no separate software or specialist knowledge is required.

Yes. We regularly create videos for screens at trade fairs, in shops, reception areas and other public locations. Thanks to our PowerPoint-based approach, new versions, promotions or language variants can be produced quickly and cost-effectively.
Take a look, for example, at our Lapperre case.
Not necessarily. Traditional animated videos are often built entirely from scratch, which can quickly push up the budget. Thanks to our pragmatic approach using existing graphic assets, personalised avatars and reusable building blocks, we can create professional animated videos within a realistic budget.

questions about e-learning.
E-learning gives employees the freedom to learn where and when it suits them best. It also makes knowledge transfer consistent, measurable and easy to scale across the organisation.
Yes. We often start from existing training sessions, manuals, PowerPoint presentations or training materials and turn them into an interactive learning experience.
Yes. Quiz questions, knowledge tests and certification modules are all possible. This allows you to map and continuously monitor the knowledge level of your employees, for example.
Not always. Some training courses can be rolled out perfectly well as standalone modules. When tracking, reporting, certification or the management of multiple courses and target groups are important, our LMS solution offers the perfect answer.
That depends on the content, the number of modules, interactive exercises, languages and any integrations with an LMS. Together, we look at the approach that will deliver the best return. Book a short inspiration session using the button at the top of this website, and in a 15-minute call we will give you an initial idea of the cost of your specific project.
Definitely. An e-learning module helps new employees get up to speed more quickly and ensures everyone receives the same essential information. This saves time, improves the quality of the onboarding process and helps new colleagues become productive more efficiently.

questions about Xiwa.
We are not an all-round communications agency, but specialists in storytelling through presentations, video and e-learning. Thanks to that focus, we support clients not only visually, but also strategically and content-wise, helping them communicate strong, distinctive stories.
When you are deeply immersed in a subject, it is not always easy to see what truly matters to your target audience. As an external partner, we dare to ask the critical questions that help sharpen the core of a complex story. That is often where our greatest added value lies.

Our strength lies in quickly understanding content and translating it into a clear structure, strong storytelling and visual communication that sticks.

Be sure to take a look at our work page to discover just how diverse our projects and clients are.
Because PowerPoint is much more than presentation software. It is also an animation tool, an audio and video tool, a graphic design platform and so much more. PowerPoint offers extraordinary possibilities. We use it to develop presentations, videos and e-learning modules that clients can easily adapt themselves afterwards. Xiwa does not believe in expensive, complex software, but in solutions that remain flexible, future-proof and user-friendly.
The biggest advantage? You are not only investing in an end product, but also in a sustainable foundation you can continue to build on later.
Yes, but always linked to a specific project we have delivered. Every story is unique, so we prefer to provide guidance tailored to your story, target audience and communication objectives. We do not offer standard training courses on presenting or PowerPoint design.
No. Although our office is based in Kortrijk, we work for organisations throughout Belgium and beyond. Thanks to digital collaboration and online meetings, we can support clients wherever they are located. We regularly develop communication tools for international target audiences. Multilingual content, different markets and local variants are no obstacle.
AI can do a great deal, but a strong communication tool starts with making the right choices: what do you say, what do you leave out, and how do you make sure the message sticks? That strategic thinking remains human work. We use AI where it adds value, but always combine it with human expertise in storytelling, structure and design.
