Build a website with Gemini

By Konrad Kirner

Yes, you can build a website with Gemini, for free and with a preview in Canvas. Gemini only shares it as a link on gemini.google.com, without an address of its own. Below: how to get the code out of Canvas, which prompts work, and what to watch for on privacy.

What Gemini can do on its own

Step by step

  1. Paste one of the prompts below on gemini.google.com. "In Canvas" in the prompt makes the page show up on the right.
  2. If the canvas sits small under the answer, enlarge it with the arrow at the top right. Preview shows the page.

  1. Switch to Code, click into the code, select all with Cmd+A (Windows: Ctrl+A) and copy. In the editor this selects only the code. Or use Export and Download code.

  1. Paste the code or drop the file at app.getsharepa.ch/neu and check the preview.
  2. Pick an address such as summer-party.sharepa.page and go live.

Prompts to copy

Invitation in Canvas

Create an invitation in Canvas for [occasion, e.g. the gymnastics club's summer party in Wädenswil on 27 June 2027] as a single HTML file. With programme, venue, directions and a section for signing up by email. Cheerful, not cheesy. System fonts, no Google Fonts, no images from other websites, no database.

Without third-party scripts

Rebuild the page without Tailwind and without scripts from other servers. Put all styles in the style element and keep the look. Output the whole file.

Restaurant menu

Create a menu page in Canvas for [restaurant, e.g. a pizzeria on the Rhine in Schaffhausen] as one HTML file: starters, pizzas, desserts, drinks with prices in CHF, opening hours, phone. Easy to read on a phone, system fonts, no external scripts or images, no database.

Tips for Gemini

Tailwind from another server

In our test Gemini loaded Tailwind from cdn.tailwindcss.com, although the prompt ruled out outside images and Google Fonts. It hadn't mentioned scripts. Every visit then contacts that server and hands it the visitor's IP address. The page still works on sharepa. If you'd rather avoid it, add "no external scripts" or use the "Without third-party scripts" prompt afterwards. More in Do I need a cookie banner?.

Sign-up by email

For "sign up by email", Gemini built a form that opens the visitor's mail app. On a phone without a mail app set up, nothing happens. To collect sign-ups in sharepa instead, see Build a form with your chat.

"No database"

Canvas apps that store data depend on Google services that aren't there outside Gemini. For a page people only read, put "no database" in the prompt.

Questions

Can Gemini build a website?

Yes. Canvas builds the page and previews it, also on the free plan.

What does "Export to Google Sites" do?

It creates a page in Google Sites, Google's own site builder, with its limits.

Can I show the Gemini page at my own address for free?

Not with Gemini. With sharepa, three pages are free, one of them on your own domain.
