Idk, there's a lot of people who have jobs designing websites without a place to host it. Shoot, people get paid to design an image of a website.
This sort of thing worked in the '90s. Many of the security restrictions in browsers these days means it doesn't consider the local file to be actually local, and you have to host from some kind of server. There are mini servers that are trivial to spin up, like SimpleHTTPServer on Python.
