11. Once everything is ready, click the Create My Website! button at the bottom of the page
12. Once complete, you will see a message indicating that your website has been created successfully

Now that your customer's presentation website is created, start adding product ideas for them to view. There is no limit to the number of products or lists to add to this website. 
Note: Before you get started adding products, we have found that creating a specific breakdown of product lists works best.  For example, creating a list for "cups" and a separate one for "pens" gives your customer the best experience.

1. While logged into your DistributorCentral dashboard, enter a keyword in the top search bar
2. Hit Enter on your keyboard, or click the Magnifying glass button to start the search
3. On the product results page, click the Add to List button under each product you want to show your customer
4. Once you have added all the products for this keyword search, click the Product Lists Tools tab at the bottom of the page
5. Here you should see all the products you've added, click the Add to Website link
6. In the Add to Website window that appears, add a Name for your List (the name you select is customer-facing so it needs to be relevant to the products in the list) 
7. In the Website dropdown, select the presentation website you've created
8. Click the Add to Website button to convert your list and to add it to your presentation website
9. Now back in your Product List Tools, you can save this list for future reference >> Learn how to save your list and add new ones 
10. When your ready to move on to your next set of products, click the "X" in the top right of the Manage Lists window
11. Then click the Clear All link in Product List Tools
12. Repeat steps 1 - 11 as needed

Once you have your website created, and you've added product ideas, send the custom URL to your customer. 

Here's how to get more out your customer presentations! 

• After the URL is sent, you can continue to add product lists for your customer see on the website in real time whenever needed. 
• Customers can even create their own lists from the presentation website and send their product selections back to you creating a two way system of communication that allows you to provide more specific products to your customer as you go. 
• If you want to take it a step further, activate the shopping cart and add payment processing so that customers can order products right from their personalized presentation website.
