Publish your first page
The three ways to publish, which fits what you have, and why updates keep the same URL.
There are three ways to publish. Pick the one that matches what you have in front of you.
Pick your way in
- Something you made in a Claude chat. Say "publish this" right there and the live URL comes back in the conversation. → Publish a Claude artifact
- A project folder in Claude Code. Ask Claude to publish the folder. → Publish a folder from Claude Code
- A finished HTML file on your computer. Upload it in the dashboard, no Claude needed. → Upload an HTML file
All three feed the same publishing, so every page gets the same features no matter which door you came through: hosted images, lead capture, analytics, search listings, and share previews.
Say "update", not "publish", to change a live page
Publishing creates a new page at a new address. Updating changes a page that's already live and keeps its address, so links you've shared keep working.
Ask Claude to "publish" a revised version of something already live and you'll end up with two pages. Ask it to "update" instead.
Changes take up to 60 seconds to appear. Wait a minute and refresh.
Where your pages live
https://yourusername.pagesumo.com/your-page-name
The last part comes from the page's name. You can change it later, but old links will break; see Manage a page. You can also put pages on your own domain: see Use your own domain.
Every published page carries a small "Published with PageSumo" pill at the very bottom, below your own content, under your own footer. It never floats over your page.
The Pages screen
Every page you publish on its own lands on Pages (pages belonging to a site live under Sites instead).
- Grid or list view. The toggle at the top right switches between thumbnail cards and a compact list, remembered in that browser.
- The live counter. A pill like "4 / 10 live" shows how many pages you have against your plan's limit. At the limit it turns amber and reads "full".
- Badges. Each page shows where it came from (Claude, ChatGPT, or Upload). A page with a signup form also shows an Opt-in form badge.
- Drag and drop. Drop an HTML file anywhere on the grid to publish it.
The free plan includes 10 pages
At the limit, publishing tells you so. Delete a page to make room, or upgrade in Settings. See Plans and limits.
Common questions
My updated page still shows the old version. Wait a minute and hard refresh. If a second copy of the page appeared instead, Claude published a new page rather than updating the old one. Delete the copy you don't want.
The dashboard rejected my file.
Uploads take .html, .htm, .jsx, and .tsx up to 10 MB. See Upload an HTML file.
Publishing warned me about an API key. An API key is a secret code, like a password, that lets one product use another company's service. Anyone can read a published page's source, so remove it and update the page. If your page is meant to call Claude, see Pages that use AI.
Will my images break later? No. If your page uses images from an outside source, including AI-generated images with temporary links, PageSumo copies them to its own hosting at publish time. They keep working after the original links expire.
