Services · Website development · AI platform websites

Websites that help Manchester AI teams turn research and pilots into paying customers.

Codeeo delivers AI platform website development Manchester founders, university spin outs and product teams use to move from a promising pilot to a sales pipeline. We plan and build product pages that show real outputs, sector pages for media, housing, health and retail buyers, a data and security section, and a demo route connected to your CRM. The site runs on a CMS that a small marketing team can manage on its own.

Manchester's AI companies grow out of very different places: university labs, the media cluster at MediaCityUK in Salford, digital studios in Ancoats and the Northern Quarter, and the new Sister innovation district beside Piccadilly. Each starting point shapes what the website must prove. We start by working out which of those audiences the site must win first.

Website capabilities

What a Manchester AI platform site needs to do its job.

Many Manchester AI companies start with strong technology and a thin website, because the first customers came through university contacts, accelerator cohorts or a single pilot partner. That works until you need strangers to trust you. A buyer at a housing association, a broadcaster or an NHS organisation will look for evidence that the product is real, that their data is handled properly and that a team exists behind the logo.

The capabilities below reflect that stage. They prioritise proof over polish: outputs a buyer can inspect, honest notes on limits, clear data handling and an easy route to a conversation. We build them as structured CMS content so that, as results from pilots arrive, your team can publish new sector pages, technical notes and release updates in an afternoon instead of waiting on an agency queue. We add more advanced items, such as documentation portals or partner areas, only when your buyers ask for them.

Explain your project
  • Output galleries and worked examples

    Before and after examples, annotated outputs and short screen recordings that show what the platform produces on realistic, permission cleared material. A buyer sees a transcript tagged, a report drafted or a defect flagged, with notes on where a human reviewed the result before it was used. Your team can add new examples from the CMS as pilots finish.

    Proof a sceptical buyer can inspect rather than take on faith.

  • Sector pages for Greater Manchester buyers

    Pages written for the sectors strongest locally, such as broadcasting and production, social housing, health and care, higher education and online retail. Each page uses that sector's vocabulary, addresses its typical data concerns and links to the examples most relevant to it.

    Visitors find a page that speaks to their own organisation.

  • Data handling and security section

    A clear explanation of what data the platform processes, where it is hosted, how long it is kept and who can access it, mapped to UK GDPR roles. Housing, health and public sector buyers often need a data protection impact assessment, so we provide the facts they will ask for in a downloadable pack.

    Information governance teams can approve a pilot sooner.

  • Research and spin out credibility

    Pages for publications, academic collaborators, funded projects and team credentials, written so a commercial buyer understands why the research matters. Funder acknowledgements and logos can be placed correctly where your grant terms require them.

    Academic depth that reads as a commercial strength.

  • Pilot request and qualification flow

    A request form that asks about the use case, data available, timescale and decision maker, then sends the details to your CRM and books a video call. Unsuitable enquiries receive a polite reply with useful resources rather than silence.

    Fewer exploratory calls that go nowhere.

  • Accessible design for public buyers

    Pages built to WCAG 2.2 AA with tested keyboard navigation, readable contrast, captioned videos and plain English summaries. Local authorities and housing providers procuring from you will check this, and the Equality Act expects reasonable adjustments for disabled visitors.

    Public sector reviewers have no accessibility objections to raise.

  • Content for search and AI answers

    Technical SEO, schema for software, articles and FAQs, and topic clusters built around the problems your buyers search for. Answer focused sections help the site appear in AI generated summaries as well as traditional results, which matters for a young brand with few backlinks.

    Organic discovery grows while the brand is still new.

  • Lightweight docs and changelog

    A simple documentation area and public changelog that can grow into a full developer portal later. Early adopters see that the product is shipping, and technical evaluators can read integration notes without asking for access. Entries can be tagged by product area so customers follow only what affects them.

    Visible progress that reassures early customers.

  • Events and community pages

    Templates for meetups, demo days and talks at Manchester tech events, with sign up forms tied to your mailing list. Past events become archive pages with slides and recordings, so the effort keeps working after the night is over. Speaker pages link back to your team profiles and research.

    Community activity turns into lasting search content.

  • Consent and honest analytics

    A consent banner and tag setup that follows PECR as amended by the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025, so low risk measurement can run with a clear opt out while advertising pixels wait for consent. Dashboards show which sector pages and examples lead to pilot requests, giving a small team evidence for where to spend its next week of content effort.

    Decisions about content based on what Manchester buyers actually read.

Who we build for in Manchester

Four Manchester situations where the website holds back growth.

Greater Manchester has a broad AI base rather than one dominant sector, which means the websites we build here vary a lot. A media tagging tool selling to producers in Salford has little in common, online, with a predictive maintenance platform for social landlords. These four profiles are the ones that come up most often in our conversations with teams across the city, and each changes the first pages we build. Some teams fit two profiles at once, and the sitemap can carry both without confusing visitors.

01

University spin outs moving into sales

Your team came out of a Manchester research group and the current site was written for funders. Now buyers need to understand the product without reading a paper. We restructure the site around use cases, keep the research visible as evidence and add pricing logic, a pilot route and a data handling section that procurement teams expect from a supplier.

We keep academic content, but move it behind commercial pages.

02

Media technology firms near MediaCityUK

You sell AI tools for transcription, tagging, archive search or content moderation to broadcasters and production companies. These buyers care about rights, accuracy and workflow fit. The website needs rich video examples, integration pages for the editing and asset systems they already use, and clear statements on how client footage is handled and whether it trains your models.

Video heavy pages need careful performance work, which we plan in.

03

Applied AI suppliers to housing and public services

You help housing associations, councils or care providers predict repairs, triage cases or read documents. Buyers here are cautious and accountable to residents. The site must be accessible, plainly written and clear about human oversight, with downloadable material for information governance and procurement teams.

Plain English matters more than a striking hero section here.

04

Scale ups from Ancoats and the Northern Quarter

You have customers across the UK and perhaps abroad, but the website was built in a hurry at seed stage. We rebuild it on a CMS your marketing team controls, migrate content without losing rankings and add the trust, careers and documentation sections your next stage of growth requires.

Redirect planning protects the search traffic you already have.

Our six steps for a Manchester AI platform website

  1. 01Video discoveryRemote sessions with founders, researchers and whoever handles sales, plus a review of analytics, search data and the pilots that went well, to decide what the site must prove first.
  2. 02Evidence inventoryWe list every example, result and credential you can publish, check permissions with pilot partners and flag gaps that need new material before launch.
  3. 03Structure and wireframesSitemap, sector paths and page wireframes reviewed with you, so the order of information matches how a cautious buyer reads.
  4. 04Design and buildVisual design, CMS templates, forms, CRM connection, consent and analytics built on staging, with weekly demos of progress over video.
  5. 05Test and migrateAccessibility, speed and browser testing, content migration from the current site and a redirect map checked against your highest ranking URLs.
  6. 06Launch and handoverGo live, monitor search and forms, train editors and hand every account and credential to your team with written documentation.

Technology

What we build this with.

We commonly build on Next.js with a headless CMS, or WordPress for teams that want a familiar editor. HubSpot, Pipedrive or Salesforce handle leads, and hosting sits in UK or EU cloud regions with a CDN in front. Video examples are served through a streaming service so pages stay light.

Questions from Manchester AI teams

With the buyer you most need to convince in the next year.

Start by naming the two or three organisations you most want as customers and what they will check before agreeing to a pilot. That decides whether the first release leads with sector pages, worked examples, data handling or documentation. We often launch a focused site with those essentials and a CMS ready for growth, then add sections as pilot results and new sectors arrive. Your analytics then show which of those buyers are arriving and what they read.
