Services · Website development · Video streaming websites
We provide video streaming website development in Manchester for independent producers, streaming technology companies, music venues and promoters, and digital channels across Greater Manchester. The website we build is the public front of your video business: it wins commissions and demo requests, presents your series and sessions so they rank, explains how and where to watch, and passes every serious enquiry to the right person with its context attached.
Manchester video businesses often sell to two audiences at once, viewers and other companies. We plan the site so a fan, a commissioner and a prospective platform customer each find their own route within a click or two, and none of them has to read past content meant for someone else.

Website capabilities
The city region has a deep video economy. MediaCityUK in Salford hosts BBC and ITV teams, the dock10 studios and a large cluster of smaller production and technology firms, while the Northern Quarter and Ancoats are full of agencies, post houses and developers building tools for broadcasters. Add a music scene that streams gigs and sessions, two large universities and a sports culture that never stops filming, and you get video companies with unusually varied website needs.
Some of these firms sell content to viewers. Many sell services or software to other businesses. Plenty do both. The features below cover the combinations we see most often, from slate pages and session archives to product pages for streaming platforms and demo booking for sales teams. We decide the final set with you in discovery, based on where your revenue really comes from.
A clean presentation of your current and past productions, with loglines, formats, broadcaster credits you are allowed to show, trailers and talent attached. Private development slates sit behind a login so you can share them with commissioners without publishing unannounced ideas.
Commissioners see your strongest work in the first minute.
For Manchester firms that build OTT platforms, encoding tools, players or analytics, we design product and solution pages that explain features by use case, compare plans in words rather than prices, and answer technical buyers' questions. Documentation and API reference can live on the same domain.
Technical buyers understand the product before the first call.
Demo request forms tied to your sales calendar, with qualifying questions on audience size, devices and current platform. Leads flow into HubSpot, Dynamics 365 or your CRM of choice with campaign and page data, so sales can see what each prospect read before booking.
More demos booked, fewer unqualified calls.
For venues, promoters and music channels, each recorded session or gig gets a page with artist details, set list, stream link and related performances. Pages are indexable, so fans searching for an artist's live set can land on your recording rather than a reupload.
Live recordings keep drawing fans long after the night.
Many titles are licensed differently by country. Title pages can show where and how to watch in the visitor's region, with clear wording when something is not available locally, instead of a broken embed. Rights windows are entered once in the CMS and drive the message automatically.
Fewer confused viewers and support emails about availability.
Automatically generated video sitemaps and schema markup for trailers, clips, episodes and live streams, kept in step with the CMS. Search engines get thumbnails, durations and descriptions without your team editing code.
Better visibility for video results in search.
Profiles for directors, presenters, editors and facilities, with credits linked to the productions they worked on. This helps production companies and studios show depth of team, and helps freelancers' names connect to your brand in search.
Your team's experience becomes visible and searchable.
Content types for productions, sessions, products, profiles and news, with roles for marketing, sales and production staff. Preview links let you check a page before it goes live, and scheduled publishing handles announcements tied to festival line-ups or transmission dates.
Each team updates its own pages without waiting on developers.
When a big session or premiere goes out, traffic can jump within minutes. We serve pages from a CDN, keep heavy scripts off key templates, compress artwork and test load before announced events. Core Web Vitals are checked on mid-range phones, since most fans arrive from social links on mobile.
The site stays responsive when attention peaks.
A consent setup for UK GDPR and PECR, secure forms with spam protection, role-based access to private slates and audit logs on gated downloads. Where you collect business contacts for marketing, we record the lawful basis and opt-in source with each record.
Lead and viewer data you can defend if the ICO asks.
Who this is for
We tend to help companies whose website has fallen behind the business. The productions are better than the site suggests, the platform has outgrown its launch landing page, or the venue's streams are scattered across social channels with no home. Four situations come up repeatedly with Manchester and Salford clients, each needing a different emphasis in the build. In every case the aim is the same: a site your own staff can keep current, which brings in the right enquiries and makes your video easy to find.
Production companies working with broadcasters in Salford need to look credible to commissioners and attractive to talent and crew. We build a site that leads with the slate, shows credits accurately, keeps development projects private and gives crew and freelancers a clean way to get in touch. Recruitment pages for productions can be published and closed by your team as shoots come and go. A news section for commissions, awards entries you choose to mention and transmission dates keeps the site current without a redesign, and each production page links to the people who made it.
Credits shown only where broadcasters allow it.
Firms in the Northern Quarter and beyond that sell video platforms or tools to broadcasters, sports bodies and publishers need a marketing site that speaks to technical buyers and to commercial decision makers. We structure product, solution, documentation and resource pages, connect demo booking to your CRM and give marketing the ability to launch campaign pages without engineering time. Case study templates let you describe customer deployments in your own words once clients approve them, and a changelog page shows buyers the product is actively developed.
Docs and marketing on one domain help search.
Manchester's music venues and promoters stream sessions, festivals and gigs. Their websites need line-up pages, stream status, archives of past sets and links to ticketing for in-person shows. We build these so promoters can add events quickly, artists can share their own performance pages and the site holds its speed when a popular stream goes out. Accessibility matters here as well: captioned recordings and described video for some sessions widen the audience, and accessible event information helps disabled fans plan visits to the venue itself.
Student media, university departments and sports organisations across the city stream lectures, matches and events. Their sites need accessible video pages, clear schedules and an archive that survives each new committee. We build simple editing workflows and handover notes so the site keeps running after the people who commissioned it move on.

How we work together
We have no office in Manchester. Codeeo's 80+ people work from Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi, and UK clients work with us remotely, with workshops, reviews and training held by video call and decisions recorded in a shared workspace. Pick a fixed scope build for a defined website, a retainer if you want a steady flow of new pages and improvements, or a dedicated developer or team for a larger platform programme. Each option starts with the same discovery phase, so the plan, the scope and the ownership terms are written down before any build work is agreed.
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
Typically Next.js or another server-rendered framework, a headless CMS, CDN delivery and integrations with your CRM, calendar and video platform. If your engineers already have a preferred stack, we work within it.

The timetable comes from the scope, so we set it after discovery.
A production company portfolio with slate pages and enquiries is a smaller job than a technology company site with product pages, documentation and CRM-linked demo booking. Content readiness matters as much as development: if credits, trailers and product copy are ready early, the build moves faster. We write down phases, review points and a launch date once the scope is clear, and plan around festivals or product launches you have coming, so the new site is settled before any big announcement goes out.
