Compliance
Web Accessibility Services in the UAE
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 the UAE, remotely from our offices in Islamabad and Arlington, Virginia, with calls in your business hours. The work typically covers accessibility audit, documentation and ongoing monitoring, planned around local rules from the start, with reporting and invoicing in AED.
Why UAE businesses work with us
Live calls in your working day: the UAE is only one hour behind our Islamabad team
Work planned around UAE accessibility standards from the start
One team running marketing, automation and software, instead of separate vendors
Reporting and invoicing in AED, 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
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.
Keyboard navigation
Ensuring the site can be used fully without a mouse.
Remediation
Fixing contrast, navigation, forms and structure issues found in the audit.
Screen reader compatibility
Making sure your site actually works with the tools blind and low-vision users rely on.
Working with UAE businesses
We serve UAE businesses remotely from Islamabad, which is only one hour ahead of the UAE, so our working days almost completely overlap. Calls and WhatsApp happen in your business hours, and reporting and invoicing are in AED. We don't have a UAE office, and we say so plainly.
Web Accessibility Compliance rules in the UAE
UAE law protects the rights of people of determination, Dubai has government digital accessibility standards, and WCAG 2.1 AA is the common benchmark.
What's different about Web Accessibility Compliance in the UAE
UAE users expect fast, polished websites and apps, and many businesses need both English and Arabic versions.
- Arabic versions with proper right-to-left layout, not just translated text
- Payments through gateways that work in the UAE, such as Stripe, Checkout.com, Telr or Network International
- Prices shown in AED, with 5% VAT handled correctly
The legal and business case
