HTML publishing guide
Share HTML with CSS, JavaScript, and images
A complete HTML page often depends on files outside index.html. Sharing only the HTML can break layout, interactions, and images, so asset packaging matters.
Quick answer
Zip the folder that contains index.html plus CSS, JavaScript, image, and font folders. Upload the ZIP so relative paths stay intact.
Real use cases
A static prototype has assets in nested folders.
A client needs to review the complete page, not a broken HTML shell.
Steps
1
Find every local dependency
Check link, script, img, source, and CSS url() references.
2
Zip the project folder
Keep index.html and asset folders at the same relative paths used by the HTML.
3
Publish and test
Upload the ZIP to HTMLShare and verify styles, images, and interactions in the preview.
Examples
Correct ZIP
index.html, css/style.css, js/app.js, and images/logo.png are zipped together.
Broken upload
Only index.html is uploaded, so style.css and logo.png return missing file errors.
Practical tips
- Use relative paths.
- Keep filenames simple.
- Do not rename folders after export.
- Open developer tools if assets fail.
Common mistakes
- Uploading a single HTML file for a multi-file page.
- Zipping the wrong parent folder.
- Using local absolute paths.
Best practices
- Keep all static files together.
- Use index.html as the entry point.
- Test before sharing with clients.
FAQ
Can I use HTMLShare for sharing HTML with assets?
Yes, when the page is static HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, or a ZIP project. Use production hosting when you need a custom domain, server code, authentication, or long-term operations.
Should I upload one HTML file or a ZIP?
Use one HTML file only when the page is self-contained. Use a ZIP when the page references local CSS, JavaScript, images, fonts, or other files.
Will reviewers need to install anything?
No. The goal is to send a normal browser link so clients, teammates, QA, and stakeholders can review the page without opening local files.
Turn the HTML into a link
HTMLShare ZIP upload is the right workflow when your HTML page needs CSS, JavaScript, images, or fonts to render correctly.
