"If you challenge yourself and love what you do then you will succeed"
Jimdo
Jimdo is the easiest way to create a website, with no coding required. Founders Matthias Henze, Fridtjof Detzner, and Christian Springub started Jimdo in 2007 in an old farmhouse in Northern Germany. They had no budget, but shared a vision: build a tool that makes it fun for anyone to create their own website. Today, over 20 million people worldwide have Jimdo websites.
Adventures
Fridel balances work with his love of sports and the outdoors. He believes that you can only succeed if you challenge yourself and love what you do. Those values extend to his non-Jimdo life as well, where you can find him kitesurfing, paragliding, speed gliding, freeskiing, road and mountain biking, running, traveling, and of course, doing handstands.
