How This Non-Techie Mom Built a Stunning Website While Chasing a Toddler and Cooking Jollof Rice—And How You Can Too!
From Tech Nightmare to Website Queen—My Journey
Picture this: A mom (me), knee-deep in toddler tantrums, stirring a full pot of jollof rice while trying to figure out why my Unfinished WordPress site looked like it was designed by a blindfolded raccoon.
I had BIG dreams—selling my digital products, booking clients, automating my business—but instead, I was stuck drowning in:
❌ Website builders that required a PhD in coding
❌ Funnel software that costs more than my rent
❌ Email marketing tools that made my head spin
❌ Appointment booking systems that somehow made booking harder
I was tired. I was frustrated. I was one plugin error away from throwing my laptop out the window. The year ended with me working and trying to learn WordPress. I was broke and couldn’t afford to hire a web designer. My plans to make money in the first quarter of the year were getting impossible day by day. I would spend hours on YouTube, back and forth learning and I succeeded in some but was miles away from a full setup.
The pain of seeing my year go by without achieving my goals and making money became stronger. My husband got tired of me and he simply just waited for me to give up too and go back to buying and selling physical products to make money, but I was mentally done with that. I needed a working website and no matter how long it took me, I was determined.
Then one tired and frustrated day, I dished the laptop and just wanted to relax and stroll through my phone when I saw a Pinterest post. Curiously, I opened it and saw Shinepages. I didn’t think much of it but just decided to test it out and fool around it with the 14-day trial they gave me.3
ShinePages is an all-in-one website and business-building platform that lets you:
✅ Build a website in days, not months
✅ Sell digital products, courses, and memberships
✅ Book appointments and collect email leads
✅ Run an entire business online—without needing 10 different tools. I didn’t have to pay for email, bookings and all those other platforms.
And the best part? Even a sleep-deprived, non-techie mom like me did it—all while keeping my toddler alive and making Lunch and dinner. Everything was so easy, I could just drop, add, and change, it was exciting and impressive. I was in awe of how in only a few hours how great my website already looked. And did I mention how beautiful and feminine it looked? I got excited instantly and I couldn’t wait to tell my husband when he got back. I have been telling everyone who cares to listen since.
