Services · Website development · Video streaming websites

Streaming websites built for the capital's events, broadcasters and public bodies.

Codeeo delivers video streaming website development in Riyadh for event organisers, media and production companies, government entities and corporate communications teams. We build the web platform audiences reach from a search result or a shared link: Arabic first pages, a browser player for live and on demand video, event hubs, sponsor and press areas, and a content system your editors run themselves. When a headline night sends the whole city to one page, that page has to load fast and keep playing.

Our Riyadh team meets you in person for discovery and design reviews, and the same people stay on the project through launch. Codeeo has delivered 200+ projects across the UAE and the US, with a team of 80+ across Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi.

What the website can include

Pages and tools for a city that watches live.

Riyadh has become the base for much of the Kingdom's media industry since MBC Group opened its headquarters in the capital in 2022, and the season calendar fills the city with concerts, matches and shows that people want to watch from home or share from the venue. A streaming website here is rarely a library alone. It is the front door for an event, a channel and a brand, and it has to answer three audiences at once: viewers who want to press play, sponsors who want to see their names in the right places, and journalists or partners who need material quickly. We plan the site around those three audiences, in Arabic first with English alongside, and build each section so your own team can run it without calling a developer on show night. The sections below are the ones Riyadh clients ask for most; few sites need all of them in the first release.

Explain your project
  • Event hubs and live pages

    A dedicated page per event or season with a countdown, line up, schedule, the live player and the replay that replaces it once the show ends. Your editors switch a page from upcoming to live to replay from the CMS, and the page keeps the same address so shared links never break.

    One link that works before, during and after the event.

  • Arabic first architecture

    Right to left layouts designed in Arabic from the first sketch, with an English version that mirrors the structure rather than a translated afterthought. Typography, menus, player controls and date formats are checked in both directions so neither audience reads a broken page.

    Both languages read as if they were written first.

  • Sponsor and partner placements

    Defined sponsor slots on event pages, partner pages with logos and messages, and a simple report of impressions and clicks per placement. Placements are set in the CMS with start and end dates, so a sponsor's presence matches the contract without manual edits at midnight.

    Sponsors see exactly what they paid for.

  • Press and media area

    A gated area for accredited journalists and broadcast partners with clips, stills, schedules and statements, plus an accreditation request form that routes to your media team. Downloads are logged so you know which outlet took which asset.

    Fewer emailed files and faster coverage.

  • Licensing and partner enquiries

    Separate routes for broadcasters wanting rights, brands asking about sponsorship and venues proposing events, each with the questions your commercial team needs answered. Enquiries land in your CRM with the source page attached, and WhatsApp is offered where your team prefers it.

    Commercial enquiries reach the right desk with context.

  • Peak traffic readiness

    Static pages cached at the edge, the player loading from a dedicated delivery network, and load tests run against the expected audience before each major night. We plan a lighter fallback page for the rare moment the live feed itself has trouble upstream.

    The site stays up when the whole city arrives at once.

  • Video SEO and structured data

    Indexable pages for every programme, episode and event, with VideoObject and Event markup, Arabic and English titles, thumbnails and transcripts where you have them. Search engines read what each video is about, which brings viewers in long after the live moment.

    Replays and clips keep earning search traffic.

  • Editorial CMS with approvals

    Roles for writers, producers, legal reviewers and publishers, with a review step before anything goes live. Government and corporate clients often need two sign offs on public video; we build that into the workflow instead of relying on email chains.

    Nothing reaches the public without the right approval.

  • Clips and vertical highlights

    A clip library where producers cut short moments from a live event, add Arabic and English captions and publish each clip on its own page with a share link. Clip pages carry the event branding and a route back to the full replay, so a highlight passed around on social channels brings viewers back to your site rather than ending on someone else's platform.

    Shared highlights send traffic home to your site.

  • Consent and analytics

    A consent banner and privacy notice written for the Personal Data Protection Law, analytics that respect the viewer's choice, and viewing reports your team actually reads: plays, completion, drop off points and traffic sources by event.

    Useful numbers collected on a lawful basis.

Who this is for

Four kinds of Riyadh teams we build streaming sites for.

The starting point decides the build. An event company needs pages that change state by the hour; a ministry needs approvals and accessibility; a production house needs a showcase that sells its catalogue to buyers. Most Riyadh clients fall into one of these four groups, and we scope each one differently rather than forcing them into one template. Where a client spans two groups, such as a production house that also runs live events, we combine the relevant parts into one plan and one CMS.

01

Event and season organisers

Concerts, festivals, fan zones and award nights in the capital need a site that carries ticket links, schedules, the live stream and the replay in one place. We build reusable event templates so the next show is set up in the CMS by your team, not rebuilt from scratch, and we test the live page under load before every headline date. After the event, the page becomes a lasting archive that keeps sponsors visible.

Reusable event templates cut set up time for the next show.

02

Media groups and production houses

Companies producing series, documentaries and studio formats need a public catalogue that viewers can browse and a trade side that buyers and broadcasters can use to request screeners and rights information. We keep those two audiences on separate paths with different access levels, while sharing one content library underneath. Buyer requests are logged so your sales team can follow up on every serious lead.

03

Government entities and authorities

Ministries and authorities publishing briefings, campaigns and recorded sessions need Arabic first pages, captions, accessible players, strict publishing approvals and hosting that satisfies NCA controls. We design the platform around those requirements and document the security measures for your internal review. Captions and transcripts are planned from the first wireframe, not bolted on.

We supply security documentation for internal sign off.

04

Corporate communications teams

Companies in King Abdullah Financial District and along the northern business corridors stream town halls, results briefings and launches. Some of that video is public and some is for staff only. We build sign in through your existing identity provider for internal streams and keep public pages fully indexable. Results briefings can be published to investors on a schedule your legal team sets.

How a Riyadh streaming website goes from brief to broadcast.

  1. 01Discovery at our Riyadh officeA working session with your producers, editors, commercial team and IT to map audiences, event dates, content sources, approvals and the systems the site must connect to.
  2. 02Structure and wireframesPage types, navigation and the event page states drawn in Arabic first, reviewed with you in person, then mirrored for English before any visual design begins.
  3. 03Visual design and playerYour brand applied to the full page set and the browser player, with controls, captions and sponsor positions designed and agreed together.
  4. 04Build and CMSFront end, CMS, video platform connection, CRM and analytics built in stages, with your editors trained on a staging site while it grows.
  5. 05Load and security testingLoad tests sized to your largest expected audience, accessibility checks, consent testing and a security review against the controls your organisation follows.
  6. 06Launch and live supportRedirects from any old site, search console set up and a support plan for your first major live event, agreed in writing beforehand.

Questions Riyadh teams ask before building a streaming site.

It depends on scope and on the date of your first event.

A focused site with event pages, a player and a CMS moves faster than a platform with a trade area, sign in and several integrations. We set the plan after discovery, working back from your first live date, and we tell you plainly what fits before that date and what should follow afterwards. Content readiness matters as much as development: translated copy, artwork and video rights all need to be in hand. A typical sequence is discovery, wireframes, design, build in stages and testing, with your editors trained on staging before launch.
