Compliance

Web Accessibility Services in London

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 London, 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 London 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 London's real markets: the City and Canary Wharf, Shoreditch and King's Cross tech, Harley Street healthcare and West End retail

One team running marketing, automation and software, instead of several London suppliers who don't talk to each other

Reporting and invoicing in GBP, with no central-London office overhead built into your fees

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 London

London is not one market but several sitting a few miles apart. The City and Canary Wharf are dominated by financial and professional services firms that expect polished, compliance-aware work. Shoreditch, Old Street and King's Cross hold one of Europe's largest tech and startup scenes, where speed matters more than polish. Marylebone and Harley Street are the centre of UK private healthcare, while the West End, Mayfair and Knightsbridge carry retail, hospitality and luxury brands. Across Greater London's 32 boroughs and nearly 9 million people, thousands of SMEs, trades and local services compete street by street. We plan every engagement around which of these Londons you are actually selling to.

We work with London 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 London 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 London users

London customers expect fast, polished digital experiences, and B2B buyers often judge a supplier by its website before they ever speak to it. For Web Accessibility Compliance, we build for UK users from the start: UK spelling and formats for dates, phone numbers, prices and postcodes, cookie consent that meets PECR, accessibility against WCAG 2.2, and performance tuned for UK visitors. Larger London organisations and public bodies will also expect accessibility and data protection to be documented, so we build that in rather than adding it at the end.

Frequently asked questions

Do you have an office in London?

Not a physical office. We work with London businesses remotely, with calls in UK hours (GMT/BST), written weekly reporting and invoicing in GBP. Not paying for a London office keeps our fees lower than many local agencies.

Do we legally need this?

Requirements vary by market. If you serve customers in the US, UK or EU, accessibility law is worth taking seriously. We can advise on your specific exposure.

Do you provide documentation for compliance purposes?

Yes, an accessibility statement and audit trail are part of the service.

Why choose ZAVYANS for accessibility compliance?

We audit with real assistive technology, not just automated scanners, and fix issues in order of real impact rather than a superficial pass.

What rules apply to Web Accessibility Compliance 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. We plan the work with this in mind, and you approve anything customer-facing before it goes live.

Which countries do you work in?

We work with clients across Pakistan, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, the UAE and Saudi Arabia.

What do you need from me to start?

Access to your website, and details of which markets or standards you need to comply with.

Which cities in the UK do you work with?

Businesses anywhere in the UK, including London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Glasgow, Liverpool, Edinburgh, Bristol, Sheffield and Newcastle. Campaigns and content can be targeted to specific cities or regions.

Can you fix an existing site, or only build new ones accessibly?

Both. We audit and remediate existing sites, and build new ones to be accessible from the start.

What standard do you audit against?

WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines), the standard most accessibility law and best practice references.

Will this slow down our website?

No, accessibility fixes typically improve site structure and speed rather than slowing it down.

Yes. We build to WCAG 2.2 and set up cookie consent that meets PECR and UK GDPR, so analytics and marketing tags only run with consent.

Can you work alongside our in-house London team?
