parnii take
Jimdo is made for self-employed people who want to get online without fuss. You answer questions about your business, and the builder produces a site with images and text. Plans start at 9 € per month, and the store adds no commission. For a small business with a simple site, that is a clear offer.
The limits show when you grow. You build pages from elements such as text, images, forms and apps. We found no sign of structured content collections, so larger or data-heavy sites will feel tight.
The bigger issue is lock-in. You cannot export the site or its code to run elsewhere. There is no tool to import a full site from another platform either. Even inside Jimdo, content from a Creator site does not transfer to the Jimdo Website Builder. Every move means rebuilding by hand.
If your business has outgrown a simple builder, or you want a site you can take with you, plan the move early. Set up 301 redirects from the old addresses and rebuild the content with care. That is work parnii does for clients every week.

Migration
Moving to or from Jimdo
You cannot export the site or its code, so content must be rebuilt by hand elsewhere. 301 redirects are supported, mainly for domain setup such as non-www to www. Jimdo has no full-site import tool, only image import from social accounts.
