What’s the story behind Jimdo?
Four years ago we founded NorthClick on an old farm. Without a cent we moved in at Fridtjof’s home and developed the online-software that now is the core of Jimdo. NorthClick distributes this software to Small and Mediumsized Enterprises who can use the software for updating their websites really easily. Short after the founding we won a businessplan competition (we used three matchbox cars to explain our idea to the jury, we guess they loved that idea ;-)) which gave us approximately 20,000 USD. In combination with some basic agreements and our first customers we had enough money to move to Hamburg and rent our first office. Since then we already moved into a bigger office and have a rising number of customers and colleagues! 
During the first three years more and more of our friends asked us whether they could use our system for private stuff. We were so fascinated by the cool pages they created! Some used the system for pages about themselves, three guys used it to document their sailing trip from Germany to Sydney, some to promote their bands…and the feedback was just unbelievable!
That’s when the idea was born to give Pages to the People!
