Jimdo Website Examples

Jimdo is a website builder that is very similar to Wix and Weebly. It doesn’t require any code writing skills from users. Instead, people are offered to use pre-designed templates and they can customize them by adding new elements of their own.

Germany is a country of origin for Jimdo and their team and website support are offered in more than 9 different languages. It’s a very huge global presence, I should say. Over 910,767 websites were created with Jimdo starting from the first day until nowadays.

Jimdo is a good choice for newbies as well as for those who have some coding knowledge. Let’s take a look at some Jimdo-powered websites now.

Summary

The good thing about Jimdo is that you don’t have to be a member of Silicon Valley to use it. If you have enough time, there’s another good thing: a pretty long free trial period, so you can test the platform before buying it.

However, if you intend to create your own blog or a promo-page of any sort, Jimdo is not the best solution for it. Jimdo doesn’t offer a great variety of templates. Of course, quality is more important than quantity, but with a limited choice, you run a risk of having your website look and feel like many others.
