Services · Website development · Staffing agency websites
Codeeo delivers staffing website development in Edinburgh for temp agencies, event crew suppliers, hospitality staffing firms and care staffing businesses. We build sites that recruit hard for the festival summer, keep winning hotel, office and care contracts the rest of the year, and explain Scottish requirements properly: PVG scheme membership through Disclosure Scotland, Care Inspectorate registration for nurse agencies, and terms of business written for Scots law rather than copied from an English template.
Edinburgh's staffing year has sharp peaks. A site that only works in July wastes the other eleven months, and one built for steady trade collapses under festival demand. We plan the content and the forms for both, so the same site recruits crews in spring and wins contracts in winter.

What an Edinburgh agency site needs
Most staffing websites in the city were built once and left. In spring they still show last summer's festival roles; in October they still ask students to register for August. Clients notice that, and so do candidates. The fix is a site whose seasonal content switches on and off from the CMS, and whose year-round pages are strong enough to carry the business when the venues on the Royal Mile close up.
Edinburgh agencies also deal with rules that differ from the rest of the UK. Vetting runs through Disclosure Scotland, social care workers register with the SSSC, and contracts sit under Scots law. Sites written for English agencies often get this wrong. We write the compliance content for Scotland from the start, and your adviser confirms the final wording before launch. That matters most on care and hospitality pages, where a wrong statement about vetting or training is more than a typo.
A section that opens in spring for August roles: bar, box office, stewarding, technical crew and venue cleaning, with role descriptions, likely shift patterns and an application form tuned for high volume. It closes itself after the season and becomes an archive page that keeps its search value for next year.
A spring surge of applications handled without rebuilding the site every year.
Separate pages for hotels and restaurants, conference venues such as the EICC, offices in the Exchange district and around Edinburgh Park, and care providers across the Lothians, each with its own request form and the checks you carry out for that kind of placement.
The site keeps selling between festivals.
Clear candidate guidance on when a role needs PVG scheme membership through Disclosure Scotland, what basic disclosure means for other roles, and how long checks typically take to arrange. Client pages explain how you confirm membership before a placement in regulated work.
Candidates arrive prepared, and clients see you know the Scottish system.
For agencies supplying nurses, the site shows Care Inspectorate registration details and links to the published register, and for care workers it explains SSSC registration. Content is reviewed for accuracy about the roles you actually place.
Care buyers can confirm your status without phoning.
Hospitality role pages explain that staff selling alcohol need training under the Licensing (Scotland) Act before working a bar, and how your agency arranges or records it. Clients see that bar staff you send will already meet the premises licence conditions.
Venues trust your bar staff on the first night.
A quick mobile registration for students at the city's universities and seasonal arrivals, covering availability by week, preferred areas and right to work documents, including student visa hour limits explained in plain terms.
Fewer registrations rejected at the first appointment.
A short form built for a hotel or venue duty manager on a phone: role, number of staff, start time, venue and any PVG or alcohol training requirement. It routes to whoever is covering that evening and confirms the request by email, so the manager knows it has landed even during the busiest weeks of the year.
Requests made in a minute and never lost in a shared inbox.
Terms of business, privacy notice and candidate terms published as structured CMS content, written for Scots law and reviewed by your Scottish solicitor. Versions are dated, and the version a client accepted through an online request is recorded.
Legal pages that match the jurisdiction your contracts sit in.
LocalBusiness markup, a maintained Google Business Profile and pages for the areas you supply, such as Leith, the city centre, the airport and Ingliston, plus West Lothian and Midlothian where you genuinely place staff.
Clients searching locally find a local agency.
UK GDPR notices written for candidates, PECR compliant cookie consent, and a retention rule that clears old festival applications after the period you set, so last year's applicants are not stored indefinitely.
Seasonal volume without a growing pile of stale personal data.
Who this is for
Edinburgh is a compact city with an unusually varied staffing market: festival crews, five star hotels, financial institutions, universities, the airport and a large care sector all draw on the same pool of workers. Staffing website design Edinburgh agencies need has to reflect which part of that market you serve. These are the four we most often build for, and what each one usually needs first.
Most of your year happens in a few weeks. You need a site that can take a flood of applications in spring, filter them by role and availability, and push them into your ATS without your team retyping anything. Outside the season, the same site has to sell crew for conferences at the EICC, shows at the Royal Highland Centre and Hogmanay events. We build both modes and switch between them from the CMS.
Built for the peak, useful all year.
Hotels and restaurants in the Old Town, New Town and Leith need cover that turns up trained and on time. Your site should show that bar staff arrive with their alcohol training recorded, that housekeeping teams can be scaled for busy weekends, and that a duty manager can request staff in a minute. We design a calm, premium look that suits the city's better hotels, with an urgent request path on every page. Seasonal pages for Hogmanay and the summer let hotels book extra cover early.
Care buyers in the city and surrounding councils look for registration, vetting and training before anything else. We put Care Inspectorate and SSSC information at the front, write candidate pages that explain PVG membership properly, and keep clinical role descriptions accurate. Health and conviction data captured at registration gets stricter access controls than the rest of the site.
Registration first, marketing second.
Financial firms, universities and public bodies in Edinburgh buy temporary administrators and specialists through frameworks and preferred supplier lists. A staffing web development company Edinburgh buyers take seriously builds a site that reads like a supplier ready for procurement: clear policies, accessibility to WCAG 2.2 AA, published terms and a straightforward request process.
Working with us from Edinburgh
We have no office in Scotland and we do not travel to Edinburgh for workshops. We work with Edinburgh clients remotely: discovery, reviews and training run by video call, and everything agreed is written into a shared project document. We avoid scheduling launches or large changes during your busiest weeks, because nobody on your team has time to review pages while August is running. Most agencies take a fixed scope first release and then a retainer that covers the seasonal switch each year.
Because the festival sets a hard date every year, we keep a simple rule: anything not tested and approved by an agreed cut-off moves to the autumn release. That protects your recruitment season. After the peak, we use the quieter months for larger work such as new sectors, a second brand or a move to a different ATS.
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
Next.js with a headless CMS for high volume seasons, or WordPress if your team already uses it, with application forms built to queue safely under heavy load. Custom staffing website development Edinburgh agencies need is mostly about content control, so editing stays simple, and hosting sits in a UK region.

Early enough that recruitment opens on the new site, not the old one.
Festival recruitment usually begins months before August, so the candidate section needs to be live and tested before that. We agree the date recruitment opens during discovery and plan back from it, with content and integrations scheduled first. If the full site cannot be ready in time, we launch the recruitment section first and the client pages after the season, rather than rushing both. A short content freeze before recruitment opens gives your team time to check role descriptions and pay information.
