UK-registered company. International engineering team.
Software for media & entertainment in the UK.
Audiences are demanding and traffic is spiky. A media or entertainment platform has to publish fast, load instantly, handle the launch-night surge and make membership or tickets effortless. Krapton builds websites, content platforms and community products for UK media businesses, event organisers, creators and leagues.
Our portfolio includes Rush Racing League, a competitive sim-racing community platform with live results and registration, and Samay Raina Video, a ticketing and content site for a touring comedian. Both were built to stay fast when the audience arrives at once.
What gets in the way today.
Traffic peaks
Ticket releases, live events and viral moments put months of traffic into minutes.
Publishing speed
Editors and community managers need to publish and change content without a developer.
Rights and access
Public, member-only and paid content with the right controls, and rights-managed media handled properly.
Software shaped around media & entertainment.
High-performance content sites
Static and edge-rendered pages with a CMS your editors love, tuned for Core Web Vitals and SEO.
Membership and community
Accounts, subscriptions, forums, leaderboards and live features integrated with Discord and social platforms.
Ticketing and commerce
Integrations with ticketing and payment providers, merchandise stores and sponsor placements.
AI for content operations
Tagging, summaries, transcripts and personalised discovery from your archive.

Samay Raina Video
The official site for comedian and chess-streamer Samay Raina had one job: move tickets fast for the 2026 "Still Alive & Unfiltered" world tour — and stay up when a single social post sends a viral wave of fans to the venue pages.
Read the success storyMedia & entertainment software: questions UK teams ask.
Can the platform handle a ticket release or live event surge?
Yes. We build on edge-rendered, cached architectures with queues for the transactional parts, and we load-test against the peak you expect before launch.
Which CMS do you recommend for publishers?
It depends on your editorial workflow. Headless options such as Sanity or Contentful suit multi-channel publishing; WordPress remains right for many editorial teams. We recommend after seeing how you publish.
Can you integrate with Discord, YouTube and social platforms?
Yes. Rush Racing League, for example, flows live race results from Discord to the website automatically. Social, video and community integrations are a normal part of our media builds.
Do you handle membership and subscriptions?
Yes. Accounts, paywalls, subscription billing with Stripe, member-only content and community features are built into the platform from the first release.
What about the Online Safety Act?
Platforms with user-generated content have duties under the Act. We build the moderation, reporting and age-assurance features your policy requires; your organisation owns the risk assessment.
