You have the choice when signing up to either use one of the pre-built templates provided by Jimdo, or start from scratch with a blank slate design. You begin by choosing between “Website”, “Online Store”, or “Blog” categories. Then, you are presented with more choices that pertain more to your industry, further helping you to pick the perfect design for your site. It is also incredibly easy to switch designs further down the line, so you’re never locked into one style if you find that it isn’t right for your business.

Ease of Use

Jimdo is designed to be easy for anyone to use, no matter how experienced you are with website building. As mentioned before, when you create your account, you’ll be asked what kind of site you’d like to create: website, store, or blog. You then answer a few more simple questions, and you can build the site yourself using the site builder tools, or their AI will build the website for you. The AI will even use your own images and information – or draw on their own bank of photos to compliment your design.

The websites are all built using easily editable blocks, so you can tailor the site to your individual needs with a few simple clicks. Change colors and text, add pages, edit the overall style, layout, and more. It’s all very intuitive. The only downside is that there aren’t as many features as other website builders, but in a way, that just makes this one simpler to use.
