Codeeo provides video streaming membership website development in London for arts organisations, talks programmes, independent film curators, training providers and studios that want people to pay for access to their video. We build the web platform that takes the money and guards the content: membership tiers, a gated library and live premieres, UK card and wallet checkout, renewals, a member account area and an admin your staff can run without a developer. Our team works with London clients remotely, with discovery and reviews held over video call.
A London viewer can already choose from a dozen services on the same evening. Yours wins a place in their budget by being specific, by being easy to join and by being honest about what renewal costs and how to leave. That honesty is now also a legal requirement, so we design for it from the first screen.

Inside the platform
Most London organisations that come to us already have the video. A gallery has years of recorded talks, a dance company has rehearsal footage and full performances, a City training firm has a back catalogue of lectures that used to sit behind a single login. What they lack is the commerce layer: a way to sell access by tier, charge cards again next month without friction, and stop people sharing one password across a flat in Hackney and an office in Holborn.
The capabilities below are the parts of that layer we build most often for London clients. A first release rarely needs every one. In discovery we sort them by what your audience will pay for on day one and what can follow when you have real renewal data, and we keep video hosting on a specialist provider so the website concentrates on access, payment and the member experience.
Clients sometimes arrive asking for video streaming subscription website development in London when what they describe is closer to a club: people join for belonging and benefits as much as for the library. That difference changes the pricing page, the welcome emails and the reasons you give members to stay, so we settle which model you are running before we design either.
Many London arts bodies already run friends, supporters and patrons schemes. We turn those levels into video tiers, so a patron sees backstage films and archive recordings that a standard member does not. Tier names, benefits and the comparison table are edited in the CMS, and moving a title between tiers is a setting, not a rebuild.
Your video offer matches the supporter structure your audience already knows.
Release a recorded performance or talk at a set time, with a countdown page, a members-only chat switched on or off, and an access window that closes when the rights expire. Non-members landing on the premiere page are shown the tier that includes it and can join before the start.
Premieres become a reason to join rather than a free broadcast.
Visa, Mastercard and Amex through a payment provider such as Stripe, with Apple Pay and Google Pay on the same page and PayPal if your audience expects it. Card details are tokenised by the provider, never stored by your site, and renewals charge the saved method without sending the member back through checkout.
Joining takes a minute on a phone, renewing takes no effort at all.
The total recurring price, including VAT, appears before the member commits, in line with the drip pricing rules now in force under the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024. Checkout records the member's express request to start streaming immediately and their acknowledgement about the cancellation period under the Consumer Contracts Regulations.
Fewer disputes, and a record you can show if a complaint arrives.
A buyer chooses a tier and a length, pays once, and the recipient gets a code by email on the date chosen. The recipient sets up their own account, and the platform reminds them before the gifted period ends so they can continue on their own card. Codes are single use and expire.
A second sales channel for birthdays and the Christmas season.
Short-lived signed links, a limit on simultaneous streams per account, optional DRM for titles whose rights holders require it, and territory rules where a film is licensed for the UK only. Visible or forensic watermarking can be added for pre-release screenings shown to members.
Paid recordings stay with paying members, and rights holders stay comfortable.
Caption and audio description tracks attached to each title, a player operable by keyboard and screen reader, and checkout pages built to WCAG 2.2 AA. London arts audiences include many members who rely on access features, and the Equality Act expects you to make reasonable adjustments for them.
Members who need access features can join and watch without asking for help.
Members change tier, update their card, see every invoice, sign out of old devices and cancel in a few clicks. Upgrades take effect immediately with the difference charged, downgrades apply at the next renewal, and the screen states which rule applies before the member confirms anything.
Support inboxes fill with fewer billing questions.
Dashboards for new joiners, renewals, lapses, revenue by tier and the titles members actually finish. Exports in the format your finance team or a funder such as Arts Council England asks for, without anyone copying numbers out of the payment provider by hand.
Trustees and funders see evidence, not estimates.
Who we build for in London
A membership platform for a South Bank arts charity and one for a training provider near Liverpool Street share a payment engine and very little else. The audience, the rights and the reason people renew are different, so we start every London project by asking which of these situations is closest to yours. If you sit between two, that is normal, and the scope says so.
Video streaming paid membership platform development in London also has to respect how your audience lives. Members watch on a laptop at lunch, on a phone on the Overground and on a television at the weekend, often across several households sharing one subscription. The stream limits, device rules and account sharing policy are business decisions, and we help you make them before they are written into code.
Galleries, concert halls, dance companies and theatres that record talks, rehearsals and performances. The platform usually sits alongside an existing ticketing and CRM system, so we match member records to the people already in your box office data and avoid asking supporters to register twice. Archive recordings often carry different rights from new captures, which the access rules have to respect.
Rights per recording are mapped before the library is built.
Firms serving the City, Canary Wharf and the legal district around Chancery Lane often sell recorded lectures and webinars to individuals and to employers buying seats for teams. We build company accounts with seat management, VAT invoices addressed to the employer and certificates of viewing time where a professional body asks for evidence of learning.
Team seats and individual members share one platform.
Programmers and small distributors who curate a monthly selection for a loyal following. The priority here is rights: films licensed for a window, a territory and sometimes a capped number of views. We model those limits in the admin so a title disappears on the right day without anyone remembering to remove it.
Studios in neighbourhoods such as Shoreditch, Clapham and Islington that sell an on-demand class library to members who cannot always attend in person. Membership often combines studio credits and video access, so we connect the website to your booking system where it has an API, and keep video-only members on a simpler tier.
Ways to work with us
Most London clients begin with a fixed scope build for the first release, priced after discovery once the tiers, integrations and content volume are known. After launch, a monthly retainer covers new tiers, campaign pages and the improvements that renewal data points to. Organisations planning a larger programme, such as moving several archives onto one platform, sometimes take a dedicated team for a longer period. Every option is run remotely, with a named lead and regular video calls.
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 the stack to fit your payment provider, your video host and the people who will run the site after handover. A typical build pairs a modern web framework with a headless CMS, a specialist video platform and a subscription billing service, all in accounts you own. Where you already pay for a CRM, an email platform or a box office system, we connect to it rather than replace it, so your staff keep the tools they know and member data stays in one place.

It depends on tiers, integrations and how much video needs migrating.
A single tier library with card checkout and a member area is a much smaller project than a platform with gift codes, team seats, box office integration and rights windows. We agree the timeline after discovery, when the scope is written down, and we split it into stages with a review call at the end of each. If a date matters, such as a festival or a season launch, we plan the first release around it and move lower priority features into the next.
