Company mission

Jimdo's mission is to unleash the power of the self-employed and help them thrive through its mobile-first website-building platform.

Our take

Building a website is essential for businesses to survive in today's digital era, and whilst doing so is easier than ever, integrating it with essential business tools can be difficult. Customising sites to feature eCommerce tools often requires the expensive assistance of web development tools, whereas it would be easier if businesses could develop sites with such functionality without needing external help.

Jimdo provides a mobile-first website-building platform for mobile devices, allowing users to create customised, legally safe eCommerce websites from a mobile device. The platform includes a variety of no-code tools and integrations for payments, shipping, order management, and marketing, preventing users from having to juggle external web integrations.

While Jimdo will face competition from web-building giants such as Squarespace and Wix, the company has taken a unique approach by focusing on eCommerce functionality, ensuring its platform unifies web development and eCommerce management processes. The company also stands out by taking a mobile-first approach to website development, helping to increase accessibility to website building and prevent reliance on external assistance.
