Build a website with Perplexity for free

Yes, you can build a website with Perplexity, even on the free plan. Publishing it from Perplexity needs Perplexity Computer, which free accounts only get for a few trial runs. Below: how to get the code out, which prompts work, and how to put the page online for free.

What Perplexity can do on its own

Perplexity searches the web before it answers. That pays off for a page with opening hours, entry fees or figures from a study, less so when the page is mostly about looks.

Free plan: you get the code as a block in the answer, or an HTML file with a preview next to it. In our test with an account, one prompt produced a file and one a code block. Sharing that file is greyed out on the free plan.
Perplexity Computer (Pro and Max; a "limited preview" on free accounts) builds websites and publishes them with "Publish" to a pplx.app address, public by default on personal accounts. A custom domain only works through the Vercel connector.
Perplexity Pages was a 2024 feature that turned research into an article on perplexity.ai. It was never meant for your own website.

Step by step

Open a new thread on perplexity.ai in Search mode and paste one of the prompts below.
If you get a code block, click the copy icon in its top right corner. The block is labelled "xml"; that's fine.

If you get a file instead, the preview opens on the right and you can switch between view and code. There is no copy button for the code. Use the "Code block instead of a file" prompt below, or download the file with the arrow.

Paste the code or drop the file at app.getsharepa.ch/neu. The preview shows the page on desktop and phone.
Pick an address such as cityrun.sharepa.page and go live.

Prompts to copy

Event page with current facts

Research the most important current facts about [event, e.g. the Zug city run 2027] and turn them into an info page as a single HTML file. No footnotes or numbers in square brackets in the text; list the sources with links at the end. No images from other websites, system fonts, no Google Fonts. Easy to read on a phone.

Offer page, code only

Create a landing page for [offer, e.g. a beginners' cooking class in Bern] as a single HTML file with embedded CSS. Sections: headline with one sentence of benefit, three advantages, how it works, price, questions, contact. Calm colours, plenty of white space, no external fonts, images or scripts. Output only the code, no explanation before or after.

Code block instead of a file

Give me the complete code of this file as one code block here in the chat, without explanation.

Strip footnotes

Remove every reference like [1] or [9][10] from the visible text in the code. Change nothing else and output the complete HTML file.

Tips for Perplexity

A file instead of code

Asking for "a single HTML file" often makes Perplexity create a file rather than a code block. sharepa takes both: paste the code or upload the file.

Footnotes may still appear

Without an account, our test page came back with fifteen references like [9][10] at the end of paragraphs, despite "no footnotes" in the prompt. With an account there were none. A look at the preview catches them.

Figures go stale

The page won't know that a price changed. Rebuild it in the same thread and publish to the same address so the link stays.

Prompts to use Computer

Some answers end with a card suggesting Computer for "a more appealing" page and a button to run the task. That starts Perplexity Computer and uses one of your trial runs. A simple page doesn't need it.

Perplexity or sharepa

Feature	Perplexity Computer	sharepa
Plan	Pro or Max, free only as trial runs	Free, 3 pages
Public without an account	Yes, default on personal accounts	Yes
Address	`…pplx.app`	`name.sharepa.page`
Custom domain	Only via Vercel	Yes, one on the free plan
Password	Not offered	Yes, also free

If you already pay for Pro and only want to show the page briefly, Perplexity Computer will do.

Questions

Can Perplexity build a website?

Yes. On the free plan it writes the code or creates an HTML file with a preview. Publishing is done by Perplexity Computer, which starts at Pro.

Are there Perplexity Sites or Pages?

There is no feature called Sites. Pages turned research into an article on perplexity.ai back in 2024. Websites are now published by Perplexity Computer on pplx.app.

Can I publish a Perplexity website for free?

From Perplexity only within Computer's few trial runs. With sharepa, three pages are free, with password and analytics.

Sharing belongs to Perplexity Computer. On the free plan the button is greyed out for files.
