Ask Mistral for the page
Describe the page you want in plain language and Mistral writes the HTML for you. Ask for it “as a single HTML file” and the styling comes bundled in the same file, which turns the next step into one paste instead of several. Grab it with the copy button on the code block and you're ready.

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.
myname.mklyr.com LivePublishing hands you an address like this right away. If you own a domain, connect it once you're on Plus and HTTPS is handled automatically.

Make future edits by just describing them
You won't need to reopen Mistral for changes. Tell the editor what you want changed and the AI locates the relevant code, shows you what it's about to change, and applies it. Not happy with the result? Revert it in one click.

Frequently asked questions
Is it really free?
Yes — up to 5 sites stay free forever, and we never ask for a card. Free sites show a small “Made with MakeLayer” badge; that badge disappears from Plus onward.
Does the code Mistral 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 the site have more than one page?
Yes — multiple files, such as sub-pages or an images folder, upload on the free plan as well. 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 you can connect a domain you already own, and the HTTPS certificate gets issued automatically. On the free plan you use the mklyr.com address you're given.
Can I make edits without touching code?
Yes. Type a plain-language request in the editor — “change the wording on that button” — 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.
