Strikingly
Strikingly allows to launch your site in minutes. Zero code or design skills required.

Imagine, if you will, two websites standing on the edge of a vast digital universe, quietly competing to offer you the simplest way to create a site without getting tangled in the wild tangle of code. Jimdo and Strikingly, both designed for mere mortals who just want to put something on the internet without learning the secret language of the machines, provide drag-and-drop interfaces, customizable templates, integrated hosting and the occasional free plan to keep things interesting. They also make it wonderfully clear that no, you don't need to be a programming genius to make your ideas live on the web.

Now, Jimdo, being born in the Germanic lands back in 2007, has a rather sophisticated approach to helping you design your online presence. It taps into artificial intelligence to assist with the site-building process and with its "Dolphin" feature, it almost feels like the website is making itself. Of course, Jimdo isn't shy about wanting you to set up an online shop—because who doesn’t want to sell things on the internet these days? It’s particularly friendly to small businesses in Europe, where it can feel quite at home among the more entrepreneurial crowd.

Strikingly, on the other hand, came into existence a little later in 2012, from the land of the free, the United States. It tends to favor simplicity, specializing in single-page websites that don’t waste any time. Perfect for those who want to show off their portfolio or create a sleek landing page with minimal fuss, it’s particularly handy for people who enjoy building mobile-optimized sites without breaking a sweat. Strikingly is clearly designed for creators looking to make their mark quickly and for those who want something straightforward but effective, it’s got you covered.
