Portfolio led websites for London post houses and AI retouching studios.

We handle AI photo editing website development London post production houses, retouching studios and imaging firms use to win briefs from fashion labels, beauty brands and advertising agencies. The site shows the work at full quality without crawling, explains where AI sits in your process and where a senior retoucher signs off, and gives producers a confidential way to send a brief. Buyers in this city compare studios fast; the website has to make the case before they pick up the phone.

Codeeo has no London office. Our team of 80+ in Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi works with London clients remotely, and every discovery session and design review runs by video call. Code, content and enquiries stay in your accounts.

What we build

A site that sells the craft and explains the AI.

Producers and art buyers in London rarely read long service descriptions. They scan the work, look for their category, judge the finish and decide whether to ask for a test. At the same time, brand legal teams now ask harder questions about AI: what was generated, what was retouched, whether a model's likeness was altered and whether the result could breach advertising rules. A studio website has to serve both readers. We design portfolios that load full resolution imagery quickly, sector pages for fashion, beauty, jewellery, food and automotive, a page that sets out your AI policy in plain terms, and a confidential brief route that respects the agreements your clients expect. Everything is managed in a CMS your producers can use between jobs, so a finished campaign can go live on the site the week it is cleared for release, while it is still fresh in the minds of the agencies you want to impress.

Explain your project
  • Portfolio with campaign level detail

    Projects grouped by sector and technique, each with a hero image, a sequence of frames, a short credit line and the services involved. Release dates and visibility are controlled in the CMS, so embargoed work stays hidden until the client clears it.

    Art buyers find relevant work in seconds and see the finish up close.

  • Confidential brief submission

    A brief form with project type, deliverables, deadline and reference uploads, plus an option to request your NDA before sharing assets. Files land in restricted storage, access is logged, and the enquiry reaches a producer rather than a shared inbox.

    Agencies share real briefs earlier because the route feels secure.

  • AI policy and responsible editing page

    A plain page covering which tasks use AI, how human retouchers review output, how you handle likeness and consent for talent, and whether you attach content credentials to exports. It answers questions brand legal teams raise and links naturally from every sector page.

    Fewer stalled deals while procurement checks your approach.

  • Advertising rules explainer

    A short guide for clients on retouching and the CAP Code, including the ASA position that filters exaggerating a cosmetic product's effect are misleading. Written as useful content, it ranks for the questions beauty marketers search and shows you understand the rules your work must meet.

    Search visibility and credibility with beauty and skincare brands.

  • Languages for European clients

    Many London studios work for labels based in Paris, Milan or Copenhagen. We add translated versions of key pages with correct hreflang, local date and contact formats, and a language switch that keeps the visitor on the equivalent page rather than dumping them at the home page.

    European buyers read your offer in their own language.

  • Fast delivery of large imagery

    Images processed into AVIF and WebP at several widths, served from a content delivery network with careful preloading of the first frame. We tune pages so a portfolio still meets Core Web Vitals on a phone, which matters when producers browse between shoots.

    Full quality work without a slow site.

  • Talent and careers pages

    Retouchers, colourists and AI pipeline specialists are hard to hire in London. A careers section with role pages, a description of how the team works with AI tools and a simple application form helps you recruit through your own site rather than relying only on recruiters. Role pages also rank for the job titles candidates search, which keeps hiring costs in check.

    A steadier pipeline of skilled applicants.

  • Producer friendly CMS

    Structured project entries, drag and drop frame ordering, required alt text and credit fields, scheduled publishing and preview links you can send to a client for approval before a case goes live.

    New work published in minutes, approved by the client first.

  • Test batch request

    Online brands often want to see a small set edited before committing to a season. A dedicated request page explains what a test covers, which files to send, the specification you will work to and how results are returned, and it routes the request to the producer who handles that sector in London.

    Prospects move from browsing to a paid relationship through a clear first step.

  • CRM and pipeline connection

    Briefs, test requests and newsletter sign ups pass into your CRM with the page, campaign and sector attached, so you can see which work attracts which kind of client and plan your portfolio around the briefs you want more of.

    Clear sight of which sectors bring in business.

Who we build for

London studios with very different buyers.

London has more image businesses than any other UK city, and they sell in very different ways. A post house near Soho lives on agency relationships and showreels. An AI first retouching studio in Shoreditch sells speed and volume to online brands. A specialist in jewellery or watches sells precision to a small number of luxury houses. The website for each looks different, and the AI photo editing website design London buyers expect varies with them. We start by agreeing which buyer matters most, then shape the site around that person's questions.

01

A post production house adding AI tools

Your reputation rests on craft, and you now use AI for masking, clean up and variations so senior retouchers spend their time on the finish. The site needs to show that AI makes you faster without making the work generic. We build campaign led portfolio pages, a clear statement of how human review works, and a brief route that producers at agencies can use under NDA.

Present AI as speed, never as a replacement for judgement.

02

An AI first studio serving online brands

You process large volumes of product and on model imagery for direct to consumer labels, with AI handling most of the routine work. Buyers want proof of consistency across thousands of images, clear file specifications and quick answers about turnaround. The site leads with consistency examples, a specifications page your clients can share internally and a test batch request.

Consistency examples persuade more than single hero shots.

03

A luxury retouching specialist

Your clients are a short list of jewellery, watch and fashion houses who expect discretion. Public portfolio work may be limited by agreements, so the site relies on carefully cleared examples, a strong account of process and a password protected area for sharing selected work with prospects. Design is quiet and precise, with no claims beyond what you can show.

Discretion is part of the offer, so the site shows it.

04

An imaging company launching a web product

You have built AI editing technology and need a London marketing site for it: product pages, use cases by industry, a demo request and press materials. We keep account management and billing inside your product and focus the website on explaining what the technology does, who it suits and how teams can try it with your sales team's help.

The marketing site explains; the product does the selling.

From first call to a live site

  1. 01Buyer and portfolio auditOn a video call we review your current site, the briefs you won and lost last year, which work you are allowed to show and the questions agencies keep asking, then set the page list.
  2. 02Content modelWe define project, sector, service and team entries in the CMS, including release controls for embargoed work, so the structure suits how your producers already think about jobs.
  3. 03Design on real workLayouts are designed with your actual frames, at full resolution, on desktop and phone. You review them on screen with us and approve each template before build.
  4. 04Build and securityTemplates, brief form, restricted uploads, translations and CRM connection are built and tested, with access logging on brief files and a review of every third party script.
  5. 05Migration and quality checksOld URLs are redirected, portfolio items imported, alt text completed and pages checked against WCAG 2.2, Core Web Vitals and cookie consent behaviour.
  6. 06Launch and handoverWe go live, monitor search and form delivery, record CMS walkthroughs for your producers and agree how the site will be looked after once the first weeks are done.

Technology

What we build this with.

Most studio sites we build use a headless CMS with a Next.js front end, which handles large media libraries well and keeps pages fast. Smaller studios that publish less often may suit WordPress. Media sits on a content delivery network, brief files in access controlled storage you own.

Questions London studios ask us

It depends mostly on portfolio volume and how ready your content is.

The build itself is predictable once the page templates are agreed. What usually sets the pace is the portfolio: deciding which work can be shown, clearing it with clients and writing short credits. Translations and a password protected area add time too. We agree the timeline after discovery, once we know how many projects are going in at launch, and we often launch with a strong core set and add the rest through the CMS. That approach also means the new site starts collecting briefs sooner, rather than waiting for every last campaign to be cleared and captioned by the client.
