gatedpage vs. email attachments

Attachments need apps. gatedpage links need only a browser.

Send an HTML prototype as an email attachment and your manager downloads it, finds it in their Downloads folder, and opens it manually. A gatedpage link opens the live prototype on click — and only @company.com colleagues can see it.

Side-by-side comparison

Sound familiar?

  • You email the HTML prototype. Your manager downloads it, tries to open it, sees source code — because their default app isn't a browser.
  • You update the prototype after sending. Now there are two versions in different emails and nobody knows which one to review.
  • The email gets forwarded. Now people who were never meant to see the prototype have the file.
  • Reviewing a prototype over email is painful — 'which button on which screen?' instead of sharing the exact URL.

gatedpage solves this. Drop the file, get a link, paste it in the email.

What gatedpage does differently

Click, open, done

A gatedpage link opens the prototype in the browser instantly. No downloads, no file management, no 'which app do I use to open this?'

Works on mobile, properly

HTML prototypes from Claude open correctly in a mobile browser via gatedpage link. Email attachments almost always break on mobile.

Private and controlled

Share the link in an email knowing only @company.com colleagues can open it — even if the email gets forwarded to someone outside your company.

One link for all versions

Update the prototype and the link stays the same. No reply-all with 'please use the new version attached' — everyone sees the latest automatically.

What your team shares with gatedpage

  • HTML prototypes built in Claude or Copilot — shared as a link, not a file
  • Campaign previews your manager can click through on their phone
  • Dashboard drafts with real interactivity, not screenshots
  • Reports that run live in the browser instead of downloading as files
  • Design mockups for stakeholder review without Figma access

Common questions

Why don't HTML attachments work well in email?

Email clients open attachments using a default application — often not a browser. HTML files may render incorrectly or show source code. gatedpage hosts the file at a URL, so it always opens in the browser exactly as built.

Can I share the gatedpage link via email?

Yes. The link works in any medium — email, Slack, Teams, Notion, anywhere. The recipient clicks and the prototype opens in their browser immediately.

What if I update the prototype after sending the email?

Push the updated file to the same gatedpage project and the link stays the same. Anyone who already has it will see the latest version — no reply-all with a new attachment.

Is a gatedpage link safe to share by email?

Yes. Links are private to your @company.com workspace. Even if someone forwards the email, people outside your domain can't open the prototype.
