How Being a Television Director Trained Me to Deliver Top Rated Web Design in a Day

Top rated web design doesn’t come from templates or trends - it comes from leadership, systems thinking, and the ability to make confident decisions and creative execution. Not to mention SEO strategy (more on that in a future episode). Before I ever designed websites, I spent over a decade in Live TV and worked as a television director, where I learned how to deliver broadcast-level quality on impossible timelines. The speed, clarity, and pressure-proof decision-making I learned in news studios are the same skills that allow me to design and launch a strategic site in a single day.
Before breathwork. Before retreats. Before Rebel Soul Media. I thrived in an environment where pressure, precision, and thinking on my feet - constantly - were non-negotiable.
How My Live TV Director Background Helps Clients Build a Website Easily
I wasn’t always on a mission to help small businesses build a website easily and quickly. Back when I entered the broadcasting world, I was young and trying to survive in an environment run almost entirely by men who weren’t exactly subtle about their misogyny.
One of my early gigs was at the old CHUM television headquarters; 299 Queen Street West in Toronto - a building known for its “old school” culture. And if you didn’t fall in line, you didn’t get ahead.
And despite the calls for me to bend to the BS from higher ups; I learned quickly how to stay in integrity while holding my own.I refused to exchange my values for power.I walked away from opportunities that required me to play the game.
What I did instead was master the skill of leading under pressure.
A live studio director must:
make fast decisions with no room for error
manage multiple systems at once
communicate clearly
deliver quality on impossible deadlines
stay calm while everything moves at once
lead a team that relies on your confidence
Those skills didn’t disappear when I left television. I applied them directly to the digital world as I worked to build and scale my coaching and wellness brand. Today, this is why clients can build a website easily with me - because I’m not guessing. I’m directing.
Why You Don’t Need a Top Rated Web Design Firm When You Have a Technical Director on Your Side
Top web design firms are often trusted because they offer leadership, process, and proven systems; not because they’re slow or expensive.(although many are unfortunately!) When you work with me, you’re getting those same high-level skills in a focused, one-day (or one week if you choose) format. As a former television director, I bring the same technical oversight, creative direction, and accountability that large firms rely on, without the bloated timelines or layers of communication.
When I left TV, I didn’t stop being a director. I just stopped directing humans in a physical room.
Now my crew looks like this:
Showit and Wix CMS platforms
Canva for quick design pivots
Creative Market for fonts and brand assets
AI tools that support workflow
SEO tools
Analytics systems
Email marketing platforms
Automations and integrations
Each tool has a role. Each tool needs direction. Each tool works together under one vision.
And that’s where my experience shines. You get warpspeed website energy because I know exactly how to orchestrate the moving parts.
Website in a Day isn’t rushed; it’s focused. It’s the result of knowing how to manage complex systems with confidence and clarity.
Why Confidence Matters When You Want to Build a Website Easily
One thing clients consistently say is that they trust me within minutes. They just know I can help them build a website easily from the start.
That comes from:
more than a decade of digital marketing
running my own businesses
building, breaking, and rebuilding sites for years
understanding what actually works - visually and strategically
I don’t teach theory. I teach and embody lived experience. And people feel that difference. Confidence is what allows me to move fast without sacrificing quality. It’s what allows clients to relax because they know they’re in good hands. And it’s what makes building a website with me feel like a straightforward, streamlined, no-bullshit experience.
Why My Strategy Rejects Manipulative Marketing Tactics
Just like I refused to sell my soul in television, I refuse manipulation in digital marketing.
No fear tactics.No pressure campaigns.No scarcity games.
Websites don’t need manipulation to convert. They need clarity, psychology, flow, and strategic design.
I build websites that convert because:
they reflect the truth of the brand
they speak to transformation, not pain points
they inspire instead of intimidate
They have flow and user experience in mind. That’s the future of ethical digital marketing - and it’s the foundation of Website in a Day.
Why My Website in a Day Works
Website in a Day works because I bring an uncommon combination of:
studio-level decision-making
leadership under pressure
systems thinking
creative clarity
responsibility for the outcome
embodied wisdom from running multiple businesses
Today, instead of switching cameras or calling cues, I’m guiding a full digital ecosystem into alignment; fast, clean, and confidently. And that’s exactly why clients who once felt overwhelmed by the tech feel like they can finally build a website easily with support that actually understands them. Not only do I do the damn thing and finally get you online, but I also offer you the tools you need to move forward without me; and that includes website back-end walkthroughs, custom how-to videos, and post-launch 1:1 support (and optional retainer services from me if you want to feel held and supported moving forward on your journey).
