Services · Website development · Video streaming websites
We provide video streaming website development in Saudi Arabia for media groups, telecom and pay TV operators, sports federations, education providers and public bodies that need a web platform serving the whole Kingdom. That covers Arabic first page design, a browser player for live and on demand video, catalogues that search engines can index, sign in through national and corporate identity services, and hosting and data handling that meet Saudi rules. A national site has to read naturally in Arabic, stay fast from Tabuk to Jazan and stand up to scrutiny from regulators and security teams.
Our Riyadh office runs discovery in person for clients in the capital, and clients in other regions work with us by video call. Codeeo has delivered 200+ projects across the UAE and the US, with a team of 80+ in Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi.

What a national platform needs
Vision 2030 and its Quality of Life Program have put entertainment, sport and culture at the centre of national planning, and more Saudi organisations now want their own streaming presence rather than relying only on third party platforms. A national service is a different brief from a single city site. It must respect the Personal Data Protection Law and SDAIA's rules on transferring data abroad, align with National Cybersecurity Authority controls, answer to the General Authority of Media Regulation on content, and serve viewers in every region on mobile networks of varying quality. The capabilities below are the ones that national clients most often need on the website itself; the exact set is agreed in discovery.
Every template is designed in Arabic first, with right to left navigation, Arabic numerals where your brand uses them, Hijri and Gregorian dates and typography that holds up in long titles. English is built as a full mirror, not an overlay, so both versions can be indexed and maintained independently.
Arabic readers get a site that feels native.
Fields for age ratings, content advisories and licence information on every title, with filters that hide or label restricted items. Your compliance team decides the values; the site displays them consistently and keeps a log of what was published, changed and removed, which helps when a regulator asks questions.
Ratings and notices shown the same way everywhere.
Consent banners, privacy notices and preference centres written for the Personal Data Protection Law, with analytics and marketing tags that respect each choice. Viewer data is stored in cloud regions inside the Kingdom when your classification requires it, and any transfer abroad is documented for review.
Personal data handled in a way you can defend.
Hardened hosting, web application firewall, role based admin access, multi factor sign in for editors, logging and regular patching, mapped to the Essential Cybersecurity Controls your organisation follows. We provide the documentation your security team needs for its own approval process.
A site your security team can sign off.
Where a service needs verified identity, for example a public body or a platform with age restricted content, sign in can use Nafath through an approved integration. Corporate and university platforms use their own identity providers instead, and public content stays open without any account.
Verified identity only where the service needs it.
Pages and video served through delivery networks with points of presence inside the Kingdom, so viewers in Abha or Hail get the same start time as viewers in Riyadh. We test page speed and playback on Saudi mobile networks, not only on office broadband. A light fallback page is ready if a live feed has trouble upstream.
Fast playback in every region, not only the big cities.
Schedule pages for Ramadan series, national day coverage and season events, with evening peaks planned for in caching and capacity. Editors prepare a whole month of pages in advance and publish them on a timer, so the team is not editing live pages after iftar.
The busiest weeks run on prepared pages.
Pages for regional channels, local clubs or city events, each with its own Arabic and English metadata and structured data, so a viewer searching for coverage of their own region finds it. Regional editors can be given access to their section only. Makkah, Madinah and the Eastern Province can each carry their own seasonal pages.
Local audiences find their own content in search.
If you sell subscriptions, the website connects to your billing platform, which handles mada, STC Bank, Apple Pay and card payments under SAMA rules and issues ZATCA compliant e-invoices through Fatoora. The website's job is clear plan pages and a clean route into that checkout, kept separate from the content site.
Plan pages that lead cleanly into a compliant checkout.
Captions, audio description where available, keyboard friendly players, readable contrast and screen reader testing in Arabic and English. Public bodies often have formal accessibility expectations, and a national audience includes older viewers and people with disabilities who deserve the same access.
Every viewer can use the site, not just most.
Who this is for
National streaming websites tend to be commissioned by organisations whose audiences are spread across the Kingdom and whose content attracts attention from regulators, rights holders and the press. That raises the bar on governance, security and Arabic quality. These four groups make up most of our national enquiries, and each brings its own priorities to the plan. Where your organisation spans two groups, the plan combines the relevant priorities.
Broadcasters and production companies with large Arabic catalogues need a web presence that showcases series and films, carries live channels and supports advertising and sponsorship. We build title, channel and schedule pages on a shared content model, with rights and classification fields on every item, so the catalogue can grow to thousands of titles without the site becoming hard to manage. Advertising slots and sponsor placements are managed from the same CMS.
A content model that scales with the catalogue.
Operators bundle video with connectivity and need a web front for their service that explains packages, lists channels and lets customers watch in the browser after signing in with their operator account. We integrate with the operator's identity and billing systems rather than duplicating them, and we plan for the scale of a national customer base from day one. Package pages update from one source when channel line ups change.
Federations and leagues covering several cities want one home for match video, highlights, fixtures and news, with club pages for each member. Rights for live matches are often held by broadcasters, so the site must show only what the federation may publish. We design around those rules and around match day spikes when every region is watching at once. Member clubs get their own pages without needing their own developers.
Built around what the federation's rights allow.
Universities, training bodies and government entities publish lectures, public briefings and awareness campaigns to citizens nationwide. They need Arabic first accessible pages, verified sign in where content is restricted, strict approval workflows and hosting that satisfies NCA controls and their own data classification. We document every decision for their governance teams. Approval chains can include legal and communications reviewers before anything goes live.
How we work together
National projects usually start with a fixed scope first phase covering the core site and one content line. After launch, a retainer keeps new features, regional sections and seasonal programming moving. Larger organisations often choose a dedicated team of designers, developers and testers who work inside their governance and release process. Each option comes with a written scope, named responsibilities and regular demonstrations, whether you meet us in Riyadh or by video call. Training and a full handover pack are part of every option.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
We choose technology that your IT and security teams can approve and maintain: a headless CMS, a fast front end, an enterprise video platform with multi DRM, and cloud hosting with regions inside the Kingdom where your data rules require them. Each component is documented so your team can maintain or replace it.

Data protection, cybersecurity, media regulation and, if you sell, commerce and tax rules.
The Personal Data Protection Law, overseen by SDAIA, governs viewer data. NCA controls shape security for many organisations, especially public bodies and critical sectors. The General Authority of Media Regulation oversees audiovisual media. If you sell subscriptions online, the e-commerce law applies, which means registering the online store with the Ministry of Commerce, and ZATCA rules govern VAT and e-invoicing. Your legal advisers confirm what applies; we build the site to support it. We list the relevant rules in the discovery report so nothing is assumed.
