Gamma

Yes, Gamma includes a core functionality that allows users to convert their presentations and documents into fully functional, published websites. This feature transforms the platform's native card-based content into responsive, interactive web pages that can be shared publicly via a unique URL. The process for converting and publishing content is integrated directly into the user workflow. For an existing presentation, a user can navigate to the three-dot menu (...) in the top-right corner of the editor and select 'Publish to Site,' followed by 'Convert to Site.' An alternative path is through the 'Share' button, which also provides a 'Publish to site' option. Once converted, a 'Publish' button appears, which, when clicked, makes the website live. Users can also create a website from the ground up by going to the 'Sites' tab on their dashboard and selecting 'Create Site,' using either AI prompts or templates. The output of this process is a live webpage hosted on a 'gamma.site' subdomain, for example, yoursite.gamma.site. For users subscribed to the Gamma Pro plan, the platform provides the ability to connect a custom domain, offering a more professional and branded web address. Gamma sites are designed to be inherently responsive, automatically adjusting their layout to provide an optimal viewing experience on various devices, including desktops, tablets, and mobile phones. A 'Preview' mode allows creators to check the appearance on different screen sizes before publishing. The structure of the site can be a single, continuous scrolling page or a more complex multi-page website. Users can add and configure a navigation bar (navbar) to link to different pages or to specific sections (cards) within a page, facilitating user navigation. Gamma distinguishes between its 'Slide Mode' and 'Site Mode.' The former is intended for traditional, presenter-led sessions, where content is revealed card-by-card. In contrast, 'Site Mode' functions as a standalone website, where the cards are arranged in a scrolling layout. This mode supports key web features, including the ability to customize SEO metadata such as page titles and descriptions to improve search engine visibility. To manage privacy and access, users have several controls. A site can be temporarily 'disabled,' taking it offline without deleting the content. Other privacy options include password protection and a 'noindex' setting to prevent search engines from indexing the site. For performance tracking, Gamma supports integration with analytics tools like Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel, allowing site owners to monitor traffic and user engagement, with some advanced analytics features reserved for Pro subscribers. This website-publishing capability lends itself to a variety of practical applications. It can be used to quickly generate landing pages for marketing campaigns, create online portfolios to showcase work, present detailed business proposals, publish e-books, or share internal company documentation. However, there are limitations to consider. Published sites are web-based and require an internet connection to be viewed. The use of custom domains and access to advanced analytics are features exclusive to the Pro subscription tier. While the content can be exported to static formats like PDF, the interactive web-specific features are lost. Currently, Gamma does not offer a direct way to revert a published site back to its original presentation format; this would require a manual copy-and-paste process. The platform also lacks advanced e-commerce or dedicated blogging functionalities. When compared to alternatives, Gamma is noted for its speed and AI-driven generation, offering a faster path from document to website than a tool like Canva, which provides more manual design control. It is positioned as a modern alternative to Google Slides, offering a more dynamic and accessible web-native format.
