San Francisco, Calif. - 99designs, the largest global marketplace for graphic design, and Jimdo, one of the leading website builders, today announced a strategic partnership to provide small business owners with logo design, website creation, and hosting seamlessly on the 99designs website. By bringing the services together it will be easier, faster, and more affordable for clients across the globe to launch their businesses and begin offering products and services quickly.

“We think great brands start with a great logo and 99designs has successfully created hundreds of thousands of logos for businesses and entrepreneurs globally,” said 99designs President and CEO Patrick Llewellyn. “As we’ve grown and evolved, so have our customers’ needs. Now, with the addition of Jimdo, businesses can extend the essence of the brand captured in their logo to their hosted website.”

The deep integration between 99designs and Jimdo makes it even easier for entrepreneurs around the world to launch a business without having to spend time locating, interviewing and hiring designers and developers for logo and website creation. Instead, an owner can focus energy and time on other important business initiatives. 99designs delivers a professionally designed logo and ready-to-use, mobile-friendly, easy-to-edit Jimdo website for as little as $499.

A custom logo design and matching website is live in as quickly as fourteen days. The package includes hosting for a year. “This package also allows businesses to manage and edit their website even after the contest is over, without requiring any special skills,” said Jimdo co-founder Christian Springub. “Businesses need a strong brand and a strong website presence to succeed and this new partnership will provide that quickly, easily and affordably. Jimdo and 99designs were both founded to help small businesses compete and grow and this logo and website package is only the beginning.”
