Welcome to my page...
Hello - my name is Nikki and I created this site Webmums!
I am a mum of three gorgeous girls, married to a man with more patience than a saint and currently residing in a house fit to burst at the seams in Sussex!
The site is for women of all walks of life and I hope that everyone can find their own little place here and really enjoy the WebMums community.
As a mum, I know how hard it is to earn a living and even make friends on occasion. So I developed WebMums as a space where mums can socialise but also have the chance to network, advertise their businesses for free on their profile pages and pick up ideas for working from home - if need be.
The site can be a little daunting at first - but I am working on a simple, site navigation map - which should make things a little easier. If you need help uploading pictures, navigating your way around the site, on how to use the forum etc - then please feel free to send me a message (click on send message underneath my profile pic) or leave a comment here on my page below. I will get back to you ASAP.
If you would like to advertise your business on our main front page - please contact me for prices. We charge a small fee to WebMums members (compared to outside sponsors).
I do hope you will be an active and valid member of the WebMums community.

So, a quick summary;
I have a long history with retail both offline and on. I have opened a couple of web stores and in the offline world I was a retail manager for a well known clothing chain.
Since having children and bringing my business online I have been learning Web Design, eCommerce, SEO, Link Building, Blogging and Social Networking.
My main frustration is seeing great businesses fail - not through a lack of great product but through a lack of marketing knowledge, coupled with SEO and basic design.
The other main downfall I see is many people opening eCommerce stores having done no prior Market Research and ploughing hours of time and heaps of money into a business that was never ever going to succeed as there isn't a market!
My goal is to bring that knowledge to everyone, especially those in eCommerce as this is my main area of expertise and where I see the help is needed the most!
I am currently building a training site to cover all aspects of training for anyone who is thinking of starting their own business or needing a boost and a better understanding of the one they have.
- A Little About My Business
- I've opened 2 webstores (3 if you include eBay) and I've now set this site up for women. I'm also working on another two that will support this one. So I have a very strong E-Commerce background.
I'm also very knowledgable on SEO which basically means 'promoting your website through the search engines'.
My main interests lie in affiliate marketing and I will be introducing this as a course on Web Mums very soon. It's a good way to earn an excellent income from home.
I spend hours researching and writing articles for this site to bring together an assortment of info that may otherwise be difficult to find.
I know from experience how difficult it can be to find the right information regarding homeworking as not everything on the internet is 'at your fingertips'.
So, the concept of Web-Mums was born. There are other sites with lots of info for women but there is always room for more. You will find a list of all sites of interest in our resources area - which is being built at the moment.
In addition to supplying info - this is a great site for socializing and bringing women together from all walks of life.

- What Do You Aim To Achieve In The Next 12 Months?
- I will do my best to help promote women in business and make available all the necessary info they need!
I will move house - bigger and better than the one I am currently residing in. There's far too many of us in it now!
I shall concentrate on building up my businesses to make them really successful.
I will turn to my husband and tell him to resign from the job he hates so that he can start his own business, as I will have the money to support his dream!
- Favourite Reads:
- All the serial killer type books - Love the James Patterson series with Alex cross, Peter James, Val McDermid, Helen Black (one of our WebMums), Tess Gerritson, Nicci French, Michael Prescott, Jeffrey Deaver, Harlan Coben etc - and also like (though more buffy than real) Kelley Armstrongs Werewolf/Magick series.
- Favourite Word or Quote:
- I quite like the word 'Squishy' cos it sounds 'Squishy'
Also positive words like CAN, WILL, DO, ACHIEVE - these are words that are becoming more and more important in my life.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery but every day's a gift and that's why it's called the present.
- Anything Else You'd Like To Add?
- Hmmm.....well, I'd like to say thanks for reading this far.

This Really Made Me Laugh - and Some News!
Hi Folks - sorry I haven't been around so much recently. Had a bit of a personal thing going on that I won't bore you with, which then led on to a bit of a journey of discovery!
After (the personal tragic stuff) I decided to go on a detox and I have documented the progress here http://www.lemondetoxdiary.com - so if you're ever interested in giving yourself a freshen up and regaining some purpose and clarity, I'd highly recommend it.

Thanks for that, looking forward to reading it. Does the live chat at the bottom of the page mean that we can chat with whoever is online at that time?
Sorry did not make it to the online chat, but my hubbys car broke down and I had to go and pick him up. Will you be posting the info that was talked about last night?
Thanks
Brenda
I know what you mean about the green, I'm not confident on CSS yet so I don't know how to change it. I really like Ossie Clarke style graphics and graffiti effects - if you have any ideas, please let me know. Thanks Nikki!
