Accessibility testing for
services everyone can use.

Accessibility testing for organisations whose websites, apps and portals must work for people with disability. PinnacleQM tests against WCAG 2.2 AA and gives developers clear, prioritised fixes.

The challenge

Inaccessible services
exclude customers.

Organisations face legal, reputational and procurement risk when services fail standards, and these failures happen in public.

PinnacleQM combines automated scanning with manual testing using keyboards and assistive technologies, assessed against WCAG 2.2 AA. Findings are prioritised by user impact with practical guidance for fixing them. Developers know exactly what to fix.

Benefits

Accessible by design.
Proven by testing.

Automated tools find only part of the problem. We combine tools with expert manual testing to show how real users experience your service.

Standard WCAG 2.2 AA.

Tested with tools and assistive technology.

  • Real user focus

    Manual testing with assistive technologies reveals barriers that automated tools miss. Findings describe what the barrier means for users.

  • Standards based

    Findings map to WCAG 2.2 AA success criteria, so compliance is clear. Reports show exactly which requirement each issue breaches.

  • Prioritised fixes

    Issues are ranked by user impact, so developers fix the worst barriers first. High-impact barriers are fixed before minor ones.

  • Earlier checks

    Accessibility is tested during delivery, not audited after launch. Fixing issues during delivery costs far less.

  • Regression protection

    Automated scans in regression stop fixed issues coming back. Every release keeps its accessibility gains.

  • Procurement ready

    Clear reports support accessibility statements and procurement obligations. Evidence is ready when buyers and regulators ask.

How we can help

Accessibility across
the lifecycle.

From design review to regression, accessibility built into delivery.

Design and content review

We review designs, components and content early, covering contrast, structure, focus order and plain language, so designers fix barriers before anything is built and costly rework after development is avoided.

  • Contrast and typography
  • Structure and focus order
  • Content clarity

Automated scanning

We run automated scans across pages and journeys to find common issues quickly and consistently at scale, then group results so teams fix repeated patterns rather than one instance at a time.

  • Page and journey scans
  • Common issue detection
  • Scalable coverage

Manual expert testing

Specialists test key journeys using keyboard-only navigation and assistive technologies, assessing how real users experience forms, navigation and dynamic content. We record exactly where each journey breaks down for users.

  • Keyboard-only navigation
  • Screen reader testing
  • Dynamic content checks

Mobile accessibility

We test native and web apps on mobile devices using platform accessibility features, including screen readers, zoom and touch target sizes, and report mobile-specific barriers separately from web findings for clarity.

  • Mobile screen readers
  • Zoom and orientation
  • Touch target sizes

Findings and remediation

Reports map each issue to WCAG success criteria, rate user impact and give practical remediation guidance for developers and content authors. Issues are grouped by component so fixes scale across pages.

  • User impact rating
  • Remediation guidance

Ongoing accessibility regression

We add accessibility checks to regular regression and release gates, so new changes cannot quietly reintroduce barriers and accessibility gains are kept from one release to the next, with trends reported.

  • Release gate criteria
  • Trend reporting

Our approach

Assess,
fix and keep it accessible.

A practical cycle that moves from finding barriers to fixing them, then preventing them, so accessibility becomes part of every release rather than a one-off audit.

Fix what matters.
  1. Scope

    Agree journeys, platforms, standard and conformance target with stakeholders. Priorities are agreed with product owners.

  2. Scan

    Run automated scans to find common issues across pages and apps. Results are triaged to remove false positives.

  3. Test

    Perform manual and assistive technology testing of key user journeys. Each journey is tested end to end.

  4. Report

    Deliver prioritised findings mapped to WCAG with remediation guidance. Findings are grouped for efficient fixing.

  5. Sustain

    Retest fixes and add accessibility checks to regression and release gates. Accessibility is protected in future releases.

Voice of the customer

In the words
of our customers.

Great job from workshops through to close. Great tool, even I could use it! Great visibility and communication. I only had to spend a little time providing input and then a few hours of UAT once we saw the acceptance videos ‘pass’. Nice touch! We hope all projects run like this in the future...
