Services · Website development · Video streaming websites
Codeeo handles video streaming website development in London for subscription channels, rights holders, production companies, venues and niche services that need a public website doing real commercial work. We build the title pages, catalogue browsing, sign-up routes, press areas and partner enquiry forms that sit in front of your player, so people find a show on Google, understand the offer in seconds and arrive at the right place to start watching or to talk to your team.
The website is where most viewers first meet a streaming service, long before they install anything. We treat it as a product in its own right, with its own content model, search strategy and conversion paths, built to work alongside the player and billing systems you already run.

What the website does
A London streaming service competes for attention with the largest platforms in the world, and the public website is usually the first thing a curious viewer, a journalist or a commercial partner opens. That site has several jobs at once. It has to get individual titles found in search, explain what a subscription or rental includes, send a ready viewer straight to sign-up, and route business conversations to the right person without clutter.
We build these pieces around your catalogue rather than around a generic template. Each programme, film, series or live event gets a structured page that your editors can update without a developer, and every route through the site ends in a clear next step. The list below is where most London projects start; we trim or extend it in discovery based on how you actually earn money from video.
Every film, series, season and episode gets its own fast public page with synopsis, cast and crew, runtime, age rating, trailer and availability window. These pages render on the server so search engines read them properly, and they link out to related titles so a visitor who lands on one show keeps browsing.
Shows people search for by name lead them to your service, not a rival listing.
We add schema markup for videos, series, episodes and live broadcasts, with thumbnails, durations, upload dates and content ratings, generated straight from the CMS. When metadata changes, the markup follows automatically, so nobody has to maintain structured data by hand before a premiere.
Richer search results for titles, trailers and live events.
Plain comparison pages for subscription, rental and ad-supported access, written so the total cost and renewal terms are clear before anyone presses a button. Under the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024, drip pricing rules are already in force, so mandatory charges belong in the headline offer.
Fewer abandoned sign-ups and fewer complaints about surprises.
The website passes visitors into your existing account, billing or OTT platform with the plan, campaign and referral details intact. We do not rebuild your payment stack on this project; we make the jump from marketing page to account creation short and reliable.
Visitors arrive at registration with the right plan already chosen.
A gated press area with stills, key art, synopses and embargo dates, plus a request form for screeners that routes to your publicity team. London trade and consumer journalists can find what they need in one place instead of emailing for assets.
Publicity requests handled in one tracked queue.
Separate routes for distributors, brands, advertisers and venues who want to license content, sponsor a strand or carry your channel. Each form asks the questions your commercial team needs, then creates a record in your CRM with the source page and campaign attached.
Commercial leads arrive qualified and attributed.
A headless CMS shaped around titles, collections, talent, events and promotions, with drafts, approvals and scheduled publishing. Editors can line up a Friday premiere page days early and let it go live at the set time without anyone logging in.
Your team runs the site day to day without developer tickets.
Layouts and components built to WCAG 2.2 AA, captioned trailers, keyboard support, clear focus states and readable contrast over key art. The Equality Act 2010 expects reasonable adjustments, and London audiences include many people who rely on subtitles and screen readers.
More people can read, browse and sign up without help.
A consent banner that meets UK GDPR and PECR, with analytics, ad pixels and affiliate tags held back until a visitor agrees. Campaign and partner data still reaches your reports through server-side tagging where consent allows it.
Marketing data you can trust and defend to the ICO.
Edge caching, image optimisation and load testing before big launches, so a trailer drop or a live final does not take the website down. Pages are tuned for Core Web Vitals on mobile networks as well as office broadband.
The site stays quick at exactly the moment interest peaks.
Who this is for
London holds a dense mix of video businesses: broadcasters and their studios in White City, post-production and distribution companies around Soho, digital channels and creator studios in Shoreditch and Hackney, and theatres and music venues that now stream their work. Each needs a different website. A distributor cares about buyer enquiries and screeners, a venue cares about ticketed streams and audiences, a niche subscription channel cares about search and sign-up. These are the four starting points we see most.
Services built around one genre, one community or one language often live or die by organic search, because their marketing budget cannot match the giants. We build a catalogue of indexable title pages, collection hubs and editorial features that answer what fans actually type, then make the route from any of those pages to a free sign-up page or plan choice as short as possible. Editors keep adding pages as the catalogue grows, without design work for each release. Collection pages for moods, directors or anniversaries give returning visitors a reason to browse beyond the title they came for.
Search is usually the cheapest audience channel you have.
Sales and distribution companies need a website that serves buyers and festival programmers first. That means a slate presented by territory and rights window, protected screener requests, downloadable sales sheets and a clear contact route per title. We connect enquiries to your CRM so the sales team can see which titles get attention from which markets, and we keep unreleased material behind access controls with an audit trail.
Screener access is logged, time limited and revocable.
London stages, concert halls and galleries increasingly film performances for audiences who cannot attend. Their websites must explain what is on, when a stream goes live, how long it stays available and how captioned or audio described versions work. We build event pages that show the streaming date beside the live dates, connect to your ticketing or streaming partner and keep funder and sponsor credits in the right place. Archive pages keep past productions discoverable after their streaming window closes, which keeps search value building between seasons.
Built around the box office tools you already use.
Fitness brands, publishers and creator studios starting their own video service need a credible public face quickly, without promising features they have not built yet. We design a focused launch site with a waitlist or sign-up route, a small set of hero titles and a structure that can grow into a full catalogue later. The CMS is set up so marketing staff can test offers and landing pages on their own.
Start small, with a structure that scales.
How we work together
Codeeo has no London office. Our team of 80+ works from Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi and runs UK projects remotely, with discovery, design reviews and sign-offs held by video call and tracked in shared tools you can see. Most streaming businesses start with a fixed scope website build, then move to a monthly retainer to keep shipping title templates, campaign pages and integrations. Larger services sometimes take a dedicated team that works inside their own backlog and release calendar.
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
Usually a Next.js or similar server-rendered front end, a headless CMS your editors like, and a CDN in front of everything. We choose the stack with your player provider, your in-house developers and your hosting preferences in mind, not the other way round.

It depends on catalogue size, integrations and how much content needs migrating.
A focused launch site with a few page templates is quicker than a full catalogue site with thousands of titles, a press area and CRM routing. The biggest variables are how clean your existing metadata is, how many systems the site must talk to and how many URLs need redirects. We agree phases and dates in writing after discovery, and we plan launch around your release calendar so a premiere never lands on migration week. Content entry can start before design is final, which often shortens the overall programme.
