Ask Copilot for the page
Describe the page you want, and Copilot writes the HTML for you. Add “as a single HTML file” to your prompt so the styling lands in the same file — that turns the next step into one paste instead of several. Hit the copy button on the code block and you're ready.

Build a landing page for my local dog grooming salon as a single HTML file, with a service list, our location, and a booking button.index.html Copy<section class="hero"> <h1>…</h1></section> - 2
Save it as an HTML file and open it in MakeLayer
If your AI shows a download button, use it to get the HTML file — that's the easiest way. If not, paste the copied code into Notepad and, when saving, set “Save as type” to “All files (*.*)” and name it index.html — otherwise it saves as index.html.txt and won't show up when you pick a file. Then on the makelayer.com homepage, press “Import my files”, choose “Open an HTML file” and pick that file — the page opens in a live preview, exactly as it will look.

Pick an address and publish
Choose a name for your address and press “Get started and publish”. Log in once and it publishes with the same file and address — your site is on the internet from that moment. The free plan covers 5 sites and never asks for a card.

Make future edits just by describing them
You don't need to reopen Copilot to change anything later. In the editor, describe what you want changed — the AI finds the right code, shows you the diff first, and one click reverts it if you don't like the result.

Frequently asked questions
Is it actually free?
Yes — up to 5 sites stay free, and we never ask for a card. Free sites carry a small “Made with MakeLayer” badge, which goes away once you're on Plus or above.
Does the code Copilot writes work as-is?
Yes. The HTML file you open is published exactly as-is. In the pre-publish preview, scripts written into the page don't execute — on the published site everything runs normally.
Can my site have more than one page?
Yes. Multiple files — sub-pages, an images folder, and so on — upload on the free plan too. What the free plan limits is storage and the number of sites, not the file count. To upload a whole folder, zip it and choose “Upload a ZIP” under “Import my files” on the homepage.
Can I connect my own domain?
Yes. From Plus onward, connect a domain you already own and the HTTPS certificate is issued automatically. On the free plan, you'll use your mklyr.com address.
Can I make edits without knowing how to code?
Yes. Just describe the change in the editor — “make the price bigger,” for instance — and the AI edits the code for you. You can also click an element to point at it directly. Even on Free, your last save and one auto-backup per day you save (the latest 3) are kept, so you can roll back from “Versions.” Keeping publish and manual versions starts on the Plus plan.
