We currently have a standard website running in Azure Websites within the West Europe region across 2 different instances. My question is, can these be scaled across multiple availability zones i.e. West Europe and North Europe? We had an hour outage in this zone this morning and the site was down for that duration which the client is not happy about.

Is this possible? And on that note, can the same be done for SQL Azure database?

Thanks in advance

Sure! Traffic Manager now supports Azure Websites. In a nutshell, Traffic Manager is a data center load balancer.
