Jimdo GmbH is a German website builder privately held and headquartered in Hamburg, Germany, with offices in Munich and Tokyo. The software is aimed at small and medium businesses, providing tools to create e-commerce websites, gather analytics and automate SEO.[3]
History
Jimdo was founded in 2007 by Matthias Henze, Christian Springub and Fridtjof Detzner.[4]
While they were still in high school, Springub and Detzner started their first internet agency, designing websites for small businesses in Cuxhaven, Germany. When Matthias Henze joined the company in 2004, the team decided to build their own content management system, which would go on to become Jimdo in 2007.[5]
In April 2009, after Yahoo! announced that GeoCities was closing, Jimdo announced that former GeoCities users were welcome on Jimdo.[6]
