Streaming service websites built for UK audiences, rules and search.

Codeeo provides video streaming website development across the UK for on-demand services, FAST and linear channels, sports and arts streamers, distributors and video technology companies. We build the public website that sits in front of your platform: a searchable catalogue of title pages, clear offer and consumer information, the regulatory pages UK viewers and Ofcom expect, and enquiry routes for partners, press and advertisers, all managed from a CMS your own team runs.

A UK streaming website has to persuade, inform and comply at the same time. We plan those jobs together from the first discovery call, so marketing pages, legal information and the handover to your player feel like one site rather than three bolted together.

Platform capabilities

What we build into a national streaming website.

Running a streaming service in the UK means answering to several frameworks at once. Ofcom oversees on-demand programme services and, under the Media Act 2024, is bringing the largest ones under further rules. The ICO enforces UK GDPR, PECR and the Children's code. Consumer law covers how you present offers and cancellation rights, and the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 already bans drip pricing, with its subscription contract rules expected in 2027. Accessibility duties come from the Equality Act 2010.

Your public website is where much of that becomes visible to viewers. It is also your main search asset, your press office and your commercial front door. The capabilities below reflect what national services typically need; in discovery we cut or add to the list based on your model, whether that is subscription, rental, free with ads or a mix.

Explain your project
  • Catalogue built for search

    Server-rendered pages for every title, season, episode, collection and live event, with clean URLs, internal linking between related shows and automatically generated video sitemaps. Metadata flows from your content management or rights system so the website catalogue never drifts from what is actually on the service.

    Titles rank for the names people search across the UK.

  • Regulatory information pages

    Provider details, complaints procedures, content standards and age rating explanations placed where viewers and regulators expect them. If you display BBFC age ratings, as many UK services do, we show them consistently on title pages and in structured data.

    Required information is easy to find and simple to keep current.

  • Clear consumer offer pages

    Plan and access pages that state the full price including any mandatory charges, renewal terms, how to cancel and the position on cancellation rights for digital content under the Consumer Contracts Regulations. Copy is written so your legal team can approve it once and editors can reuse it everywhere.

    Offers that are clear to viewers and safer under consumer law.

  • Children's code and age-aware design

    If children are likely to visit, the ICO's Children's code applies to the website as well as the player. We set high privacy defaults, avoid nudging techniques, keep profiling off by default for younger users and present family and kids sections with plain-language privacy information.

    Family audiences served without privacy shortcuts.

  • Accessible design to WCAG 2.2

    Templates designed and tested for WCAG 2.2 AA, with captioned trailers, keyboard navigation, screen reader labels and an accessibility statement. We also make it easy to find which titles carry subtitles, audio description or signing, something UK viewers often search for.

    More of the UK can browse, choose and sign up independently.

  • Nations and regions content

    Landing pages and collections for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, plus city hubs where you run local events or sport. Welsh or Scottish Gaelic versions can be added with proper language tagging when your catalogue or audience calls for it.

    Regional audiences find content that speaks to them.

  • Handover to billing and accounts

    The website passes visitors to your existing subscription or payment platform with the chosen plan, promotion code and campaign source intact. Strong Customer Authentication and VAT are handled by that platform; we make sure the website's prices, tax wording and sign-up steps match what happens next.

    No mismatch between what the site promises and checkout shows.

  • Advertiser, press and partner hubs

    Media packs for advertisers, a press centre with assets and embargoes, and partner pages for device makers, telcos and distributors. Each route ends in a structured form that creates a CRM record with the right owner.

    Commercial and publicity requests reach the right team fast.

  • Consent and measurement

    A consent platform configured for UK GDPR and PECR, server-side tagging where lawful, and dashboards that join website traffic to sign-ups reported by your platform. You see which titles and campaigns create subscribers without collecting more data than you need.

    Attribution you can rely on and justify.

  • Scalable hosting and CDN

    Edge caching, image optimisation and infrastructure sized for national launches, big live events and marketing pushes. Hosting region, backups, monitoring and incident contacts are agreed in writing and documented for your operations team.

    Fast pages for viewers from Cornwall to Shetland.

Who this is for

UK streaming businesses that come to us for their website.

Streaming in the UK spans public service broadcasters, global subscription brands, free ad-supported channels, sports bodies, arts organisations and a growing number of specialist services. We work best with the ones that already have a platform or player in place and need the public website to catch up: to bring in viewers through search, explain offers properly and handle business enquiries at a national scale.

01

Specialist on-demand services

Genre, faith, language and hobby services rely on organic search and word of mouth across the whole country. We build a catalogue website that turns every title into a landing page, collections that match how fans browse, and an editorial section for reviews and features that earn links. Offer pages explain what is included clearly enough that support teams stop answering the same pre-sale questions.

The catalogue is your biggest marketing asset.

02

FAST and linear channels

Free ad-supported channels and linear streams distributed through smart TVs and aggregators often have a weak web presence of their own. We build schedule and programme pages, where-to-watch guides by device and platform, and advertiser pages with audience information you are happy to publish. That gives the channel a brand home that does not depend on a third-party guide. Programme pages also help the channel appear in search when people look up a show they saw while browsing.

03

Sports bodies and event streamers

Governing bodies, leagues and event organisers streaming across the UK need fixture and event pages, live status, highlights and clear information about which matches are available where. We connect fixture feeds, plan for traffic spikes at kick-off and keep sponsor placements consistent across every page, with regional hubs for clubs in different nations. Live events that are also shown on television need clear wording about TV Licence requirements, since a licence is needed to watch live TV on any service.

Rights restrictions shown clearly by match and territory.

04

Services expanding into the UK

International platforms launching here need a site that reads as genuinely British: British English, local consumer information, UK GDPR-ready consent, VAT-inclusive pricing language and Ofcom-related pages where they apply. We adapt your global design system for UK requirements and plan the rollout across nations and major cities so marketing can launch in stages. Terms and policies are reviewed for UK law, and where you sell to viewers in Scotland your lawyers can confirm any points where Scots law differs.

Adapted for the UK, not just translated.

Six steps to a UK streaming website that is ready for national launch.

  1. 01Discovery and compliance mappingOver video calls we review your model, catalogue and systems, and list the consumer, privacy, accessibility and Ofcom-related information the website must carry.
  2. 02Search and content strategyWe research how UK viewers search for your titles and genres, then define page types, collections and editorial formats that answer those searches.
  3. 03Design systemVideo streaming website design for the UK needs flexible components: title cards, rails, offer tables and legal blocks that stay accessible and on brand.
  4. 04Build and integrationsWe build front end and CMS, connect metadata feeds, billing handover, CRM and consent, and test structured data against search engine tools.
  5. 05Migration and launchExisting URLs are redirected one to one, content is migrated and checked, and we launch in stages by nation or audience where that reduces risk.
  6. 06Operate and improveAfter launch we monitor speed, errors, rankings and sign-up handover, update regulatory pages as rules change and add features in planned releases.

Questions UK streaming services ask before rebuilding their website.

We set the timeline after discovery, based on scope and dependencies.

Catalogue size, the number of integrations, regulatory and legal copy, languages and migration volume decide how long the work takes. Legal approval of offer and compliance pages often takes longer than the code, so we draft those early. Once the scope is agreed we put phases, review points and a launch window in writing, avoiding your major release and sports dates. Content migration and metadata clean-up can run in parallel with design, which usually shortens the critical path for services with large catalogues.
