General

What is the difference between Matrix Page Builder and Matrix theme?

The Matrix Page builder works with all templates of Jimdo Creator.

 

Can I use the Page Builder with Jimdo Dolphin?

No, unfortunately, the page builder works only with Jimdo Creator websites.

What is custom template and how does it work?

Jimdo creator has an option to use a custom template ( Design> Custom Template). Instead of default Jimdo template, you'll have a Matrix theme installed on your own website based on individual design.

Choosing a template

What is multipurpose theme?

The Multipurpose theme is a template with a dropdown menu (e.g., Lemberg, Bergen, Alsten, etc.). The structure of the template remains the same for all multipurpose themes, and you can easily switch from one multipurpose theme to another by simply changing the style editor. If you have a specific template in mind for your initial installation, you can add its name in the notes.

 

What is multilingual theme?

The multilingual template uses a standard Jimdo navigation in three different positions within the custom layout. The first level is exclusively for language selection. The second level is used for the main navigation, and the third level is reserved for submenus.

 


What is special theme?

There are three special Matrix themes with specific layout structures:

Halmstad - This theme features a sidebar menu.

Holborn - The Holborn theme has a split layout, with a hero section on the left and content on the right.
