MarkupGen for Startups & Founders

MarkupGen for Startups & Founders

You have a design. You don't have a front-end engineer yet.

Early on, the design usually outpaces the team that could build it. You or a designer put together a solid Figma mockup for the landing page, the waitlist form, the pricing page — and then it sits there, because coding it yourself would take days you don't have, and hiring for it is premature.

MarkupGen turns that mockup into a working page without either of those.

Go from mockup to live site yourself

  1. Export the frame. Use the Figma plugin on the mockup you already built — no re-explaining the design to anyone.
  2. AI generates the code. Structure, styling, images and Auto Layout translate into real HTML/CSS, Tailwind, or React — whichever you're more comfortable deploying.
  3. Refine it visually. Adjust copy, spacing and images in the in-app editor — no code editor required at this stage.
  4. Export and deploy. Push the output to Vercel, Netlify, or wherever you're already hosting.

You don't need to know CSS to get from "I designed this" to "this is live."

Move at the speed an early-stage team needs

Landing page for the waitlist, the pricing page you keep testing, the one-pager for your seed round — these all live and die by how fast you can put something real in front of people. MarkupGen skips the step where a design sits waiting for engineering bandwidth that doesn't exist yet.

The code it generates is clean and semantic by default, which matters later too: when you do hire that first engineer, they're inheriting a real codebase instead of a pile of technical debt from a rushed manual build.

What happens as you grow

Nothing about this locks you in. The output is standard HTML/CSS or React — hand it to your first engineer, drop it into your existing repo, or keep iterating on it yourself. It's a starting point, not a black box.
