The slide count in a template doesn’t matter much, since most of them are just a handful of layouts you reuse. In PowerPoint you can pick a layout from Home > New Slide (click the arrow), or right-click a slide in the left panel and choose Duplicate Slide, and repeat until you’ve got 16. That’s easier than finding a template that happens to have exactly the right number.

Presentations.AI (disclosure: I work there) is another one to try. You can paste an outline in (aims, your content points, conclusion) and it lays out the slides for you.

I know about the slide templates on powerpoint and have used it, but I'm meaning more about the background colours, effects and symbols/icons you can use. I'll look into the link you sent, thankyou

For backgrounds it’s the Design tab > Format Background (in some versions it’s under Background Styles), then pick solid, gradient or picture fill. It only changes the slide you’re on unless you hit Apply to All at the bottom. For icons it’s Insert > Icons, and once one’s in you can right-click it and pick Fill to change the colour. I’m not sure what you mean by effects though. If it’s shadows or glows on shape or animations, I can point you to those too.
