Website Development Company for France
France applies its own accessibility standard, RGAA 4.1, to public-sector and publicly-funded services — it overlaps with WCAG 2.2 AA but is not identical, and a site tested only against WCAG can still fail an RGAA audit. Anovayx Technology Pvt Ltd tests both. CNIL has also been notably specific on cookie consent, including that refusing must be as easy as accepting, which is a design requirement on the banner itself rather than a legal footnote.
What changes when the client is in France
- RGAA 4.1 tested alongside WCAG 2.2 AA — the French standard for public-sector and publicly-funded services.
- CNIL-compliant consent design where refusing is as easy as accepting, not buried a level down.
- French-language UI and content models built for French authoring rather than translated from English.

What website development costs for a French client
Indicative ranges for fixed-scope work. Anovayx quotes in USD; euro figures are approximate. As a non-EU supplier, invoices carry no French TVA — the client self-assesses under the autoliquidation reverse-charge rules.

Working hours against Paris time
India Standard Time is 4.5 hours ahead of CET and 3.5 hours ahead of CEST. An Anovayx team on an extended shift to 8:00 PM IST covers roughly 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM in Paris — about six hours of live overlap, comfortably spanning the French working morning and early afternoon. Standups are scheduled at 10:00 AM Paris time and sprint reviews before the 12:30 PM lunch break rather than across it. The August holiday period is planned into the sprint calendar at kickoff, since it materially affects client-side availability for review and sign-off.
RGPD, RGAA and French sector rules
France applies the GDPR through its own Loi Informatique et Libertés and the CNIL enforces it actively, with published guidance that goes beyond the base regulation. Two French-specific requirements catch offshore projects most often: health data hosting certification, and public-sector accessibility.
| RGPD + Loi Informatique et Libertés | A contrat de sous-traitance under Art. 28 naming purposes, retention, sub-processors and security measures, aligned to CNIL guidance. |
|---|---|
| EU Standard Contractual Clauses | Module 2 controller-to-processor SCCs plus a Transfer Impact Assessment, required because India has no EU adequacy decision. |
| HDS (Hébergeur de Données de Santé) | French health data must be hosted by an HDS-certified provider. Anovayx deploys such workloads to HDS-certified regions of AWS or OVHcloud rather than general-purpose hosting. |
| RGAA 4.1 | The French accessibility standard for public-sector and publicly-funded services, tested during QA alongside WCAG 2.2 AA. |
| ANSSI / SecNumCloud awareness | For sensitive public-sector work, architecture designed to sit on SecNumCloud-qualified infrastructure where the client's tender requires it. |
Contracting and payment for French clients
French clients sign a mutual NDA, a master services agreement, a per-project statement of work and a contrat de sous-traitance with the SCCs annexed. Invoices are issued in USD or EUR and settled by SEPA or SWIFT transfer with no French TVA, under the autoliquidation reverse-charge rules. Intellectual property, source code and repository ownership transfer to the client on final payment, and user-facing content and documentation can be delivered in French.

QIs WCAG compliance enough for a French public-sector website?
Not on its own. France applies RGAA 4.1 to public-sector and publicly-funded services, and although it overlaps with WCAG 2.2 AA it is not identical — a site tested only against WCAG can still fail an RGAA audit.
