Time needed: About 1 min
Plan required: Free plan
Coding knowledge: None
Where to do it: “Import my files” on the home page

Step by step

1
Ask Perplexity for the page

Describe what you want and Perplexity writes the HTML for you. Ask for it “as a single HTML file” so the styling ships in the same file — that turns the next step into one paste instead of several. Grab the code with the copy button on the code block and you're ready to go.

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.

Publishing hands you an address like this right away. Bring your own domain on Plus and HTTPS is set up automatically.

Edit by talking next time

You won't need to go back to Perplexity for changes. Tell the editor what you want changed, and the AI finds the right code, shows you the diff before applying it, and lets you revert in one click if you change your mind.

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 disappears once you're on Plus or above.

Does the code Perplexity generated 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. Multi-file setups — sub-pages, image folders — work 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 a domain I already own?

Yes. From Plus up, connecting a domain you own automatically issues an HTTPS certificate too. On the free plan you use the mklyr.com address you're given.

Can I make edits without knowing code?

Yes. Type a request like “change the button text” in the editor and the AI edits the code for you. You can also click an element to point at it. 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.

Trying it is faster than reading about it — create your site now, free.
