Services · Website development · Event management websites
Codeeo delivers event management website development Edinburgh planners, conference organisers, venue teams and festival producers use to turn interest into qualified enquiries. We build the company site, the venue and service pages, the portfolio and the enquiry routes, then make sure the site is found by people searching for help with a conference at the EICC, a wedding in the Old Town or a corporate dinner during the festival season. Your team edits it without calling a developer.
Edinburgh event businesses live with a lopsided calendar. A site that only performs when the Fringe programme is published leaves eleven months of search demand on the table. We plan content and enquiry paths for the quieter seasons too, so conferences, Hogmanay parties and spring weddings each have a page that sells them.

What the website includes
Someone booking an event in Edinburgh is usually comparing three or four suppliers in an evening. They want proof you have done this kind of event before, a sense of which venues you know, and a simple way to ask for a proposal. Visiting delegates and wedding couples from outside Scotland also want practical answers about travel, accommodation and the dates when the city is full. The website has to do that work before anyone picks up the phone. Below are the parts we build most often for Edinburgh event companies. We choose the set with you in discovery, because a destination management company needs different pages from a single venue or a festival production company. Everything is managed from one CMS that your own team can learn quickly, with no plugin sprawl to maintain.
Separate pages for conferences, festival hospitality, Hogmanay events, weddings and corporate away days, each with its own photography, examples and enquiry form. You switch seasonal content on and off from the CMS instead of rebuilding the homepage every spring.
Each type of event has a page that can rank and convert on its own.
Structured pages for the venues you work with, from New Town function rooms to Leith warehouses and estates outside the city, with capacities, layouts and access notes that your team keeps current.
Planners can shortlist venues without emailing you first.
A filterable portfolio by event type, size and venue, with photo galleries that load quickly on a phone. Each entry is written in your words and published only with the client's permission.
Evidence of experience sits next to every service page.
Short forms that ask for dates, guest numbers, budget band and venue preference, then route the enquiry to the right planner. Conditional questions keep the form brief for a small dinner and thorough for a three day conference. Each enquiry then lands in the CRM or shared inbox you already use, tagged by event type and season.
Enquiries arrive with what you need to quote.
Travel pages that cover the tram from Edinburgh Airport, rail arrivals at Waverley and Haymarket, accessible routes and where accommodation is likely to be scarce. We also explain the city's visitor levy on overnight stays so quotes for residential events hold no surprises.
Fewer pre-event questions landing in your inbox.
Branded sub-sites for a client conference or a recurring festival programme, built from templates in your CMS, with agenda, speakers, venue and FAQ sections. Your team launches one without a new development project each time.
Client events look polished and stay under your control.
A trust section for the documents corporate buyers ask about: insurance, health and safety policies, sustainability practice and supplier references. Each item is something you can actually evidence, uploaded as a file your team replaces when it renews, so the page never shows an expired certificate to a procurement officer in another country.
Procurement questions are answered before the first call.
Technical SEO, local SEO for your Edinburgh business profile, and Event and Organization schema so search engines understand your dates, venues and services. Page titles and internal links are planned around the searches Edinburgh buyers really make.
More of the right enquiries arrive through search.
A cookie banner set up to PECR and UK GDPR, analytics that respect the visitor's choice, and enquiry forms whose privacy notice says exactly how you use the data. Only tags you need are installed.
Clear reporting without regulatory loose ends.
Caching, image compression and a content delivery network sized for the weeks when interest in Edinburgh events peaks. We test the site under heavier load before launch, because a slow page in August costs you the enquiries you waited all year for.
Pages stay quick when the whole city is busy.
Who this is for
The event trade in Edinburgh spans tiny planning studios and large production companies, and the right website differs a lot between them. Some sell mainly to international conference buyers, others mostly to couples or local firms. These four starting points cover most of the briefs we see. If yours sits between two of them, discovery is where we work out the mix, and it usually shapes the page list more than any design choice.
DMCs selling Edinburgh and Scotland to overseas incentive and conference buyers need a site that reads well for a procurement team abroad. That means clear service lines, venue knowledge, supplier credentials you can evidence, and English that avoids local shorthand. We also make sure the site loads fast for buyers browsing from other continents and that every enquiry carries the visitor's country and source.
Built for buyers who have never visited the city.
Hotels, historic buildings and private function spaces need room pages, capacity charts, layout downloads and an enquiry form that captures the date before anything else. Festival weeks bring a separate audience, so we give August its own content area that your team can publish without touching the rest of the site. Room pages also carry accessible entrances and lift details, which matter in older buildings.
Couples planning a Scottish wedding from elsewhere in the UK or abroad want reassurance and a sense of style. We build image-led pages, an honest explanation of how planning works, a guide to the legal side that you check with your registrar contacts, and a contact form that asks the questions you would ask on a first call.
Producers and technical suppliers working across the Fringe and the International Festival need a site that shows credits, capability and kit, and that lets promoters and venues request availability early. We keep the public programme separate from the company site, so a busy season never breaks the pages that win next year's work. Credits are tagged by venue and year, so a promoter can see your history in a particular space at a glance.

How we work together
Codeeo has no office in Scotland. Our team of 80+ works across Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi, and runs Edinburgh projects remotely, with discovery, design reviews and training by video call. Most event companies take a fixed scope build, then a light monthly retainer for content, seasonal updates and search improvements. Larger groups with several brands sometimes prefer a dedicated team. We have delivered 200+ projects across the UAE and the US, and that habit of written scopes and agreed dates carries into every UK project.
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 usually build on WordPress or a headless CMS with a Next.js front end, depending on how much your team edits and how many microsites you run. Hosting sits in a UK or EU region where you prefer it, with backups, uptime monitoring and security updates handled on a schedule you can see.

We plan the timetable backwards from the date you need search traffic, not just the launch date.
Search engines need time to crawl and trust a new site, so a site that goes live the week the Fringe programme is announced is too late for that season. In discovery we agree the page list, who writes content and when your team can review designs, then fix a launch date that leaves room for indexing. The size of the portfolio, the number of venue pages and any CRM integration are what move that date most. We write the agreed dates into the scope so both sides can plan around them.
