Prepare your website ZIP for hosting

Make a clean, publish-ready ZIP in one step — here's exactly what it should contain, and a prompt that builds it for you.

Upload my website

A publish-ready website ZIP has your index.html homepage at the top level, every CSS, JavaScript, image, and font the site uses, and links written as relative paths. Get those three things right and your upload just works.

The checklist below is what we look for. If you'd rather not build the ZIP by hand, copy the prompt into the AI tool that made your site and it'll package everything correctly.

A publish-ready ZIP has:

  • Ready: index.html at the top level The first thing we look for — not buried inside a folder.
  • Ready: All assets included Every CSS, JS, image, and font the pages reference, inside the ZIP.
  • Advisory: Relative file paths only Links like css/style.css, not /Users/you/… or C:\Users\….
  • Advisory: No server-only features Logins, databases, and API calls need a server — they won't run on a static host.
Ask your AI tool to build a clean ZIP · tool: any AI tool 
Please package my website into one clean ZIP that's ready to publish:
 - put index.html at the top level of the ZIP
 - include every CSS, JavaScript, image, and font the pages use
 - rewrite any links to use relative paths (like images/logo.png)
 - remove anything that needs a backend, database, or server to load
Then give me the ZIP to download.

How it works

  1. 1 Upload your websiteDrop in the ZIP or folder your AI tool created — or paste your code. No setup, nothing to install.
  2. 2 We check itWe look for your homepage and make sure the website is ready. If something's missing, we give you a message to send back to your AI.
  3. 3 Get your live linkYour website goes online right away. Open it, copy the link to share, and connect your own domain whenever you like.

Questions

Why does index.html need to be at the top level?

It's the page visitors land on first, so we look for it at the root of your ZIP. If it's tucked inside a sub-folder, we can't tell which page is your homepage.

What counts as a relative path?

A link to a file relative to your page, like images/logo.png or css/style.css — not a full path from your computer such as C:\Users\you\site\logo.png.

Do I need to include fonts and images?

Yes, if your site uses them. Anything the page references should be inside the ZIP, or it won't load once the site is live.

What if my upload still fails?

The most common reason is a missing index.html at the top level. We show you a message you can paste back to your AI tool to fix it, then you upload again.

Can I just upload a folder instead of a ZIP?

Yes. The same rules apply — homepage at the top level, all assets included, relative paths.
