lightbulb-onFrom idea to Live

A step-by-step workflow for turning your concept into a fully deployed Maker project.


1. Define Your Project Concept

  • Identify what you want to create.

  • List key features you want to display.


2. Prototype in a design tool (Optional)

  1. If you are using Figma, see details here for Figma > Maker.

  2. If you are using any other deisgn tool, export the layout as an image to add in Maker in step 3.


3. Kick-start a Project in Maker

  • Visit ai.maker.co and click New Chat / New Project.

  • Select a Brand Style (or “No Brand Style”).

  • Enter a prompt like:

Generate a hero banner with two CTAs
  • Have a reference layout? Attach it now—image, URL, Figma file, whatever you prefer.


4. Build & Iterate

  • Ask follow-up prompts to refine components:

  • Preview changes live in the right-hand pane across breakpoints.


5. Test & Collaborate

  • Share the preview URL with teammates or stakeholders.

  • Gather feedback via comments or your team’s chat.

  • Use Project Remix to create variants without affecting your main project.


6. Publish & Host

  • When you’re ready, click Publish to generate your public URL or make it private.

  • For your own domain, follow the steps in Custom Domain.

  • Monitor performance, and roll back via History if needed.


7. Share

  • Share your finished project in Featured Projects to inspire the community.
