If I had this level of design skill, I'd be tempted to write a pitch deck like this for the SEO benefits alone. This is the best job I've seen of a startup creating something which pushes the buttons of a link-rich audience in recent memory. It is orders of magnitude easier to get links out of the techy crowd than it is to get them from brides, ushers, or the bridal-industrial complex (where virtually all coverage is pay-to-play).

(DressRush also benefits from the inevitable knockoffs since, if they get mentioned, it will likely be in the same breath as "The concept was, of course, stolen directly from <linky>DressRush's ridiculously beautiful pitch deck</linky>.)

They could improve SEO with HTML5 history. There's no direct link to each page right now.
The links show that each page has anchors, though as you pointed out, following the Javascript versions of those links doesn't actually change the current page location, making it difficult to copy those links other than via the context menu on the links. And the anchors themselves don't quite lead to the right place; the link for slide 5 took me to part-way through slide 4.
lol

the landing page is http://www.dressrush.com/*ohhai*
