Compliance
Web Accessibility Services in Birmingham
Audits against WCAG standards and fixes in order of real impact, since accessibility affects real visitors and increasingly carries legal exposure.
Quick Answer
ZAVYANS provides Web Accessibility Compliance for businesses in Birmingham, remotely from our offices in Islamabad and Arlington, Virginia, with calls in your business hours. The work typically covers screen reader compatibility, ongoing monitoring and keyboard navigation, planned around local rules from the start, with reporting and invoicing in GBP.
Why Birmingham businesses work with us
Calls in UK hours (GMT/BST) and written weekly reporting, so you always know what was done and what it produced
Work researched around Birmingham's real markets: Colmore Business District, the Jewellery Quarter, Digbeth, Edgbaston and the wider West Midlands
One team running marketing, automation and software, instead of several suppliers who don't talk to each other
English and Urdu speakers on the team, which matters in one of the UK's most diverse cities
Why accessibility is both right and a business decision
A website that is hard to use with a screen reader, or that fails on basic contrast and navigation, excludes real visitors and customers, and increasingly carries legal exposure in some markets. Accessibility work is not just a compliance checkbox, it also tends to improve usability and SEO for everyone.
We audit against recognised standards (WCAG) and fix issues in order of real impact, not a superficial pass that looks compliant but is not.
What's included
Screen reader compatibility
Making sure your site actually works with the tools blind and low-vision users rely on.
Ongoing monitoring
Catching new accessibility issues as the site is updated.
Keyboard navigation
Ensuring the site can be used fully without a mouse.
Remediation
Fixing contrast, navigation, forms and structure issues found in the audit.
Documentation
A clear accessibility statement and audit trail if compliance is ever questioned.
Accessibility audit
Testing your site against WCAG standards with real assistive technology, not just automated scanners.
Doing business in Birmingham
Birmingham is the UK's second-largest city, with more than a million residents and around 3 million people across the wider West Midlands. Colmore Business District and Brindleyplace hold the city's banks, law firms and professional services, and HSBC UK has its head office here. The Jewellery Quarter mixes hundreds of jewellery businesses with creative and professional firms, Digbeth is the city's creative and digital hub, and Edgbaston is home to major hospitals and the University of Birmingham. The region is also the heart of UK automotive and advanced manufacturing, the NEC hosts many of the country's biggest trade shows, and HS2's Curzon Street station is bringing new investment. Birmingham is one of the youngest and most diverse major cities in Europe, and we plan campaigns with that audience in mind.
We work with Birmingham businesses remotely from Islamabad, which is four to five hours ahead of the UK, so our working day overlaps your morning and early afternoon. Calls are scheduled in UK hours, reporting and invoicing are in GBP, and there is no Birmingham office overhead built into our fees.
Web Accessibility Compliance rules in the UK
The Equality Act 2010 requires reasonable adjustments for disabled users, and public-sector sites must meet the accessibility regulations, with the UK government now using WCAG 2.2 AA.
What's different about Web Accessibility Compliance in the UK
UK websites need to be fast, accessible and clear about cookies and personal data.
- WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility built in
- Payments through Stripe, PayPal, GoCardless or Worldpay, with VAT handled
- Cookie consent that meets UK GDPR and PECR
The legal and business case
We cover this in more depth in our blog post on web accessibility and legal risk. Fixing accessibility issues also frequently improves site structure and page speed, which benefits SEO as a side effect.
Building for Birmingham users
Birmingham's young, mobile-first population means most customers will meet your business on a phone first. For Web Accessibility Compliance, we build for UK users from the start: UK spelling and formats, cookie consent that meets PECR, accessibility against WCAG 2.2, and fast mobile performance, with multilingual pages where your audience needs them.

Reaching South Asian audiences in Birmingham
Birmingham has one of the largest Pakistani and wider South Asian communities in the UK, especially in Small Heath, Sparkbrook, Alum Rock and Handsworth. Our team works in English and Urdu, so campaigns, landing pages and customer conversations can reach Urdu-speaking audiences naturally, while the main campaign speaks to the whole city.
