Making the digital world accessible to everyone.
Zylyn was founded on a simple observation: most organisations know accessibility matters, but don’t know where to start. We built the tools and services to fix that.
Why we exist
Over one billion people worldwide live with some form of disability. For many, an inaccessible website isn’t an inconvenience — it’s a locked door. At the same time, the legal landscape is accelerating: 5,000+ ADA lawsuits in 2025, the European Accessibility Act in force since June 2025, and a wave of regulations demanding WCAG conformance.
The industry’s default response has been to sell overlays — one line of JavaScript that claims to fix everything and fixes almost nothing. Courts reject them. Users hate them. They don’t address the underlying code. We built Zylyn to do the opposite: find the real barriers, fix the actual code, and give teams the knowledge to keep it fixed.

How we work
Honest findings
We tell you what's actually broken, not what's easiest to fix. Our reports are specific, actionable, and backed by real testing — not automated-scan boilerplate.
No overlays
We don't sell accessibility overlays as compliance solutions. A widget on top of broken code is still broken code. We fix the source.
Real testing
Automated tools catch roughly a third of WCAG issues. The rest require a human. We use both because your users experience both.
Continuous support
Accessibility decays with every update. Our programmes are designed to keep you compliant as your products evolve — not just pass a one-time check.
The people behind Zylyn.
Practitioners, not theorists. Every member of our team works directly with assistive technology, WCAG criteria, and real codebases every day.
