Compliance
Web Accessibility Services in Canada
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 across Canada, remotely from our offices in Islamabad and Arlington, Virginia, with calls in your business hours. The work typically covers keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility and accessibility audit, planned around local rules from the start, with reporting and invoicing in CAD.

Reporting and invoicing in CAD, with no local office overhead added to your cost
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
Keyboard navigation
Ensuring the site can be used fully without a mouse.
Screen reader compatibility
Making sure your site actually works with the tools blind and low-vision users rely on.
Accessibility audit
Testing your site against WCAG standards with real assistive technology, not just automated scanners.
Documentation
A clear accessibility statement and audit trail if compliance is ever questioned.
Ongoing monitoring
Catching new accessibility issues as the site is updated.
Remediation
Fixing contrast, navigation, forms and structure issues found in the audit.
Working with Canadian businesses
We serve Canadian businesses remotely from our Arlington, Virginia address and our Islamabad team. Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal share Eastern Time with Arlington, and we schedule calls within your business hours wherever you are, with reporting and invoicing in CAD. For Quebec, campaigns and pages are planned with French versions from the start. We don't have a Canadian office.
Web Accessibility Compliance rules in Canada
Ontario's AODA requires many organisations to meet WCAG 2.0 AA, and the Accessible Canada Act applies to federally regulated organisations.
