Polymer elements need to be served from a special directory for development which is {host}/components/{your web component}/demo/

Try starting the server like: polymer serve --open this should open the browser to the correct location.

@QuiWorks thank you, I was having the same problem. To be honest, that's not very intuitive. I'd expect to just type "localhost:8081" and have the page served without problems
