Our friends over in Germany run a nice company called Jimdo and we thought about them recently because Inkd is all about getting started with a print design quickly and easily.  Everyone keeps asking us if we do website templates too.  We don’t but with Jimdo everyone can show his or her interests and passion on the Internet – on his own website! In fact, it’s free and no technical knowledge is required!  The Jimdo founders: Matthias Henze, Fridtjof Detzner, Christian Springub care about design and execution and that’ why we like them.  Our favorite part about Jimdo is that you can juice up your Jimdo Page with widgets from from other partners.  For example, Flickr, YouTube, WidgetBox and more.

If you are a graphic designer or a small business and you need to get a clean, fast site up and running in minutes you should compare Jimdo to other options.  It’s free and you’ll get:

• Unlimited Usage
• Unlimited Pages
• Image Gallery
• Own Layout
• 500MB storage
• Community-Tools
• Access to YouTube,
• MyVideo, Flickr, RSS etc.

The platform is fast and stable and currently hosts over  500.000 sites!  Adding photos and media is very easy, as is administering users and email accounts (you get them with the site). The amount of stuff you get with a Jimdo account is pretty damn good considering it’s free.

If you ever make it over to Hamburg Germany you should drop the guys a line and say hello.  Maybe they’ll buy you coffee or tell you good spots to visit
