Expert Engineer Frontend

Jimdo was founded in 2007 by Matthias Henze, Christian Springub, and Fridtjof Detzner in a farmhouse in Northern Germany. Their goal was to make it easy for anyone to create a professional website, regardless of their technical skills. Many small business owners and self-employed individuals face the challenge of establishing an online presence without the budget for a web designer or the time to learn complex coding. Jimdo addresses this by providing intuitive website building tools that empower users to bring their businesses online quickly and effectively. The company understands that solo entrepreneurs are juggling numerous tasks, and aims to remove the technical headaches associated with website creation, allowing them to focus on growing their business and celebrating their successes.

Jimdo offers two main products: Jimdo Creator, a drag-and-drop website builder suitable for users who may have some coding knowledge and want more customization, and Jimdo Dolphin, an AI-powered website builder designed for those with basic computer skills. Dolphin simplifies the process by asking users a few questions about their business and goals, then automatically generates a personalized website complete with text, photos, and other relevant details. Beyond website creation, Jimdo's portfolio has evolved to specifically cater to the unique needs of microbusinesses. This includes offerings like an online store builder, a logo creator, a legal text generator for GDPR compliance, business listings integration, social media tools, and SEO features. Jimdo's mission is to provide a comprehensive suite of tools that helps self-employed individuals and small businesses not just build a website, but also to succeed online by attracting customers, building trust, and telling their unique story.
