Services · Website development · Video streaming websites
We handle video streaming website development Los Angeles distributors, creator networks and niche channels use to present their catalog to viewers, press, buyers and festivals. That covers title and collection pages built for search, press kits and electronic press materials, gated pages for industry viewing, advertiser and licensing enquiry routes and a clean handover into the player or subscription platform you already run. Everything is planned around California's privacy and consumer laws, which are the strictest most streaming brands will face.
In Los Angeles the website is often read by two audiences at once: fans deciding what to watch, and industry people deciding whether to license, review or program your titles. We design for both without making either one wade through the other's pages.

What we build
Studios and production offices in Burbank, Culver City, Hollywood and Santa Monica sit next to a large community of independent distributors, documentary outfits and creator teams who run their own channels. For these companies the public website does more work than a logo page. It sells the catalog to viewers, gives journalists what they need, supports awards and festival campaigns and tells platforms and buyers what is available.
California law shapes how all of that is measured. The CCPA as amended by the CPRA, the regulations of the California Privacy Protection Agency and a steady stream of lawsuits under the California Invasion of Privacy Act over pixels and chat tools mean a careless tag setup can become expensive. We build the site and its measurement together.
Pages for every film, series and short, with key art, synopsis, credits, festival laurels you are entitled to use, trailers and where to watch. Collections group titles by genre, director or theme. Movie, TVSeries and VideoObject markup help search engines read them. Pages update when availability changes.
Fans searching a title or a director arrive on your page.
A press area with downloadable stills, posters, credits, bios and press notes for each title, controlled release dates and embargo handling, so publicists stop emailing large attachments and journalists find approved assets in one place. Access to unreleased assets can be limited to approved outlets.
Press gets the right assets without a chain of emails.
Password or invite based pages for buyers, programmers, critics and awards voters, with watermark settings passed to your video platform, expiry dates and access logs. These pages stay out of search and out of public navigation. Publicists can add a viewer, extend a deadline or close access from the CMS, without asking a developer or the video platform's support desk.
Industry viewers watch what they need, nobody else does.
A catalog availability page for buyers by territory and window, an advertiser page for your ad supported tier or FAST channel and separate enquiry forms routed to sales, acquisitions or ad sales inside your CRM. Buyers can filter by genre, runtime and rights available.
Business leads land with the right person.
A privacy notice written to CCPA requirements, Do Not Sell or Share and Limit the Use of My Sensitive Personal Information links where they apply, request intake and verification, and automatic recognition of Global Privacy Control, which California regulations require businesses to honor. Requests are logged for your records.
California opt out rights are honored from the first visit.
California Invasion of Privacy Act claims have targeted pixels, session replay and chat widgets that share visitor data with vendors. We keep a register of every script, load nothing that is not needed before consent, and keep viewing details away from ad platforms, which also addresses the federal Video Privacy Protection Act.
Measurement you can explain to a lawyer.
The California Automatic Renewal Law requires clear disclosure of renewal terms before sign up and an easy online cancellation path, and it was tightened in 2024. The plans page states terms beside the button and links to cancellation, while your billing platform holds the consent record.
A plans page your counsel can approve quickly.
California's Unruh Civil Rights Act lets website accessibility claims carry statutory damages, so WCAG 2.2 AA is a business decision as well as the right one. We build accessible templates, captioned trailers, audio description links and keyboard friendly players, and test with screen readers, keyboard only navigation and zoomed layouts before launch.
Fewer accessibility demand letters, more people able to watch.
Many Los Angeles catalogs live on several platforms at once: your own service, a FAST channel, rental stores and partner apps. A where to watch block on each title, plus a channel guide page fed by your scheduling data, sends fans to the right place and gives programmers a quick view of what airs when.
Fans stop asking where a title is streaming.
Spanish, Korean, Armenian or Tagalog pages for titles made for Los Angeles' many language communities, with their own URLs, hreflang tags and translated metadata, so community viewers find content in the language they search in. Each title can show which languages its subtitles and dubs cover.
Each language community finds its titles in search.
Who this is for
Los Angeles has more ways to be in the streaming business than anywhere else in the country, and the website has to match the business model. A distributor needs buyers and press as much as viewers, a creator network needs fans and sponsors and a festival needs a short, intense window of traffic. Video streaming website design Los Angeles viewers respect also has to look at home among the work of the studios around it, which raises the bar on imagery and typography. Four common starting points follow.
You license titles to platforms and also stream some of them directly. The site has to show buyers what is available by window and territory, give press clean assets and still persuade a fan to press play. We build a catalog that serves all three from one set of title records, so nothing goes out of date when rights change. Screeners for buyers sit behind access control, and the public pages switch automatically from coming soon to now streaming on the release date you set.
One title record drives the fan page, the press page and the buyer listing.
Creators in Santa Monica, Venice and the Westside who have outgrown a social channel want a home they own: show pages, episode archives, merchandise links, sponsor information and a way into their membership or subscription. We design pages that carry the creator's voice and keep search value on their own domain. Sponsor pages give brands a clear picture of the audience and formats on offer, and an enquiry form routes deals to whoever manages partnerships. Episode pages pull from the creator's upload feed automatically.
Festivals with online programs need a schedule, film pages, ticket and pass routes into their ticketing provider, geo restriction messages and filmmaker information, all ready for a sharp peak in traffic. We build the program from a structured film database so the schedule, the film pages and the guide stay consistent. After the festival, the same pages become an archive of the program, keeping the search value that each edition builds. Juries and filmmakers get their own protected areas.
Horror, anime, faith, documentary and other focused services win through depth and curation. Their websites need strong collection pages, editorial writing that ranks for the topics fans search and an advertiser story for brands chasing that audience. We give editors the tools to publish essays, lists and collections alongside the catalog, with author pages and related titles linked automatically so every article leads somewhere to watch. Newsletter sign ups are tied to the genres each fan follows.
Editorial pages often bring in more search traffic than title pages do.
How we work together
Distributors and networks usually start with a fixed scope build and then keep a retainer for new title launches, festival microsites and SEO. Companies with a constant release slate sometimes add a dedicated team. We work with Los Angeles clients remotely, holding discovery, creative reviews and sprint demos by video call. Codeeo has delivered 200+ projects across the UAE and the US, has a team of 80+ across Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi and is rated 4.7 from 23 Google reviews.
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 a headless CMS with a Next.js front end on a global CDN, with your existing video platform and billing provider connected rather than replaced. We pick tools your marketing and publicity staff can run day to day. Image pipelines resize key art automatically for every screen.

One that works back from your next release or festival date.
The main drivers are the number of titles, the state of your metadata and press assets, gated industry pages, multilingual versions and how many systems we connect. A focused site for a single slate moves faster than a full catalog migration with a press room and buyer listings. After discovery we commit to a schedule in writing. If a premiere date is fixed, we agree what must be live for it and what can follow in a second release, so launch day is never at risk because of a nice to have feature.
