Services · Website development · Video streaming websites

Streaming websites for Jeddah's films, festivals, clubs and visitors.

Our video streaming website development in Jeddah serves film distributors, festival and cultural programme teams, football clubs and hospitality brands that want their own place to show video on the web. We build title pages with trailers, screening programmes, a browser player, protected screener rooms for buyers and press, and a CMS your programmers update themselves. Jeddah is a port city where long settled families, residents from many countries and visitors arriving through King Abdulaziz International Airport all search for something to watch, so the site has to be found and understood in more than one language.

Discovery, design reviews and testing for Jeddah clients run by video call with our team in Riyadh and Dubai, using shared boards and staging links you can open from anywhere. Codeeo has delivered 200+ projects across the UAE and the US and is rated 4.7 from 23 Google reviews.

What the site can include

Built around titles, programmes and many languages.

Film has a visible home in Jeddah. The Red Sea International Film Festival now runs from its Cultural Square venue in Al Balad, the historic district, and distributors, sales agents and producers from across the region pass through the city every winter. Alongside film, two of the Kingdom's best known football clubs are based here, and the hotels along the Corniche host guests who arrive from every direction. A streaming website in Jeddah therefore tends to sell titles and programmes to viewers, show work to the trade and speak to visitors who may not read Arabic or English first. The capabilities below reflect those needs, and we pick the set that fits your organisation rather than building every one.

Explain your project
  • Title pages with trailers

    One page per film or series with the synopsis, cast and crew, age rating, stills, trailer and where to watch it, in Arabic and English at minimum. Pages are built from structured fields, so a new title is added by filling a form, and the layout stays consistent across the whole slate.

    Every title has a page that sells it and ranks.

  • Screening and programme schedules

    Programmes organised by day, venue, section and language, with filters that work on a phone in a queue outside a screening. Times update in one place and flow to every page that shows them, and a printable view helps guests and staff on the ground.

    Visitors find the right screening without asking.

  • Languages beyond Arabic and English

    Jeddah audiences include large communities who prefer Urdu, Bahasa Indonesia, Bengali, Tagalog and other languages. We structure the CMS so extra languages can be added title by title, with proper right to left handling for Arabic and Urdu and left to right for the rest, and subtitle files listed per language.

    More of the city can read what you publish.

  • Protected screener rooms

    Private rooms where buyers, programmers and accredited journalists watch films before release, with individual invitations, expiry dates, visible watermarks and a log of who watched what. Access ends automatically when a window closes, which keeps rights holders comfortable sharing early cuts.

    Rights holders share screeners with confidence.

  • Submission and enquiry forms

    Forms for filmmakers submitting work, distributors proposing titles and partners asking about licensing, each with fields your selection or acquisitions team actually uses. Uploads go to secure storage, not email, and every submission gets a status your team can track. Automatic replies confirm receipt in the sender's language.

    Submissions arrive complete and trackable.

  • Club media hubs

    For football clubs, a media section with match previews, press conferences, training clips and full replays, organised by season and competition. Fans following the club from abroad get the same pages in English, and highlights link back to the club's own site rather than leaking to third parties.

    Fans stay on the club's own channel.

  • Recorded talks and archive

    Panels, masterclasses and Q&A sessions from each edition published as searchable recordings with speaker pages, transcripts and chapter markers. Past editions stay online as an archive grouped by year, so a researcher looking for a talk from three festivals ago finds it in seconds instead of emailing your office.

    Each edition keeps working long after the closing night.

  • Hotel and venue channel pages

    Hospitality groups and venues can publish guest information films, destination guides and event recordings on pages that guests open by scanning a code in a room or lobby. No account is needed, and content is grouped by property so each hotel keeps its own identity.

    Guests watch your content without signing up.

  • Search visibility for titles

    Clean addresses, Arabic and English metadata, Movie and VideoObject markup, sitemaps for video and per language versions linked correctly, so a search for a film title in either language finds your page. We also plan internal links between related titles, directors and programmes.

    Search engines send viewers straight to the right title.

  • Fast pages on heavy media

    Trailers load only when pressed, posters and stills are served in modern formats at the right size, and pages are cached close to visitors. We check Core Web Vitals on mid range phones over mobile data, since that is how most people browse a festival schedule.

    Image heavy pages still load quickly on a phone.

Who this is for

Who commissions a Jeddah streaming site.

Jeddah's clients come to streaming from different directions. A distributor thinks in titles and release windows, a festival thinks in programmes and accreditation, a club thinks in seasons and fans, and a hotel thinks in guests. We start each project by naming which of these drives the site, then plan pages and permissions to match, so the result feels built for your organisation rather than adapted from someone else's. Some Jeddah organisations sit across two of these groups, for example a cultural body that also runs screenings in a hotel, and the plan simply combines the parts each one needs.

01

Film distributors and production companies

You need a slate that viewers can browse, release windows that change by territory, and a trade side where buyers request screeners and rights details. We separate the public catalogue from the trade area, keep both on one content base, and make sure each title's page states clearly where and when it can be watched. Acquisitions enquiries are routed to the right person with the title attached. Release windows are entered once and drive what every page shows.

Public and trade audiences, one content base.

02

Festival and cultural programme teams

Festivals and cultural organisations need programme pages that change daily, accreditation for press and industry, recorded talks and panels published after the event, and an archive of past editions. We build editions as reusable structures, so next year's festival starts from a working site, and older programmes stay online for researchers and journalists. Volunteers and staff get a simple view of the day's schedule on their phones.

03

Football clubs and sports media

Clubs with large followings at home and abroad want their video on their own site, where sponsors are visible and fans can be counted. We build media hubs organised by season and competition, with Arabic and English copy and pages that load fast on match day when traffic jumps. Rights restrictions on match footage are reflected in what each page can show.

Match footage follows the league's rights rules.

04

Hospitality and visitor facing brands

Hotels, malls and attractions along the Corniche and in Al Balad publish destination films and event recordings for guests who may be in the city for a few days. We keep these sites simple, open without accounts, quick on hotel Wi Fi and available in the languages your guests actually speak. Content stays respectful of the city's role for visitors heading on to Makkah. A short guide helps your front desk team point guests to the right page.

  3. 03Design in two directionsArabic right to left and English left to right designs reviewed together on shared boards, with extra languages tested on real titles.
  4. 04Build and integrationsFront end, CMS, video platform, ticketing links and CRM connected in stages, each shown to you on a staging site you can open from Jeddah.

  6. 06Launch before your dateLaunch timed well ahead of the festival or release, with redirects from any old site, search consoles set up and support agreed for opening week.

Technology

What we build this with.

We pick technology that suits a title led site: a headless CMS with clear content types, a fast front end, a specialist video service for playback and screeners, and multilingual tooling that handles Arabic and Urdu properly. Every choice is explained, and nothing ties you to one supplier.

What Jeddah clients ask before they build.

Through structured video calls, shared boards and staging links.

Discovery runs as a series of focused video calls with the people who own content, rights, marketing and IT. Wireframes and designs live on shared boards you can comment on at any time, and every build stage is shown on a staging site. Clients often find this faster than travelling to meetings, because decisions are recorded in one place and everyone in your team can see the same version. Our Riyadh team can travel for a specific milestone if you ask, but nothing in the plan depends on it.
