Website accessibility audit compliant with WCAG
PTM Soft will check if your website is accessible to everyone
Website WCAG Audit. Digital accessibility has ceased to be just an add-on. Today, it is a standard. That is why more and more companies and institutions are commissioning a WCAG audit—especially when they want to be certain that their website functions correctly and is accessible to everyone. PTM Soft conducts professional website audits. We detect errors, point out solutions, and support IT teams in implementing fixes.
Step one: defining the scope of the website audit
Before we begin the audit, we precisely define its scope. We can check the entire website or focus only on the most important subpages—such as the homepage, contact page, forms, blog, or user panel. We determine which processes and functionalities are of key importance and prepare test scenarios. All of this ensures that the audit is as thorough and effective as possible.
Step two: selecting research methods and techniques
Rather than limiting ourselves to a single approach, we flexibly combine multiple methodologies. Our team utilizes both automated auditing tools and meticulous manual analysis during every project. Careful verification is applied to the code structure alongside the website’s operational logic. Additionally, assistive technologies such as NVDA or VoiceOver screen readers play a crucial role in our process. Testing the website exactly like people with disabilities do allows us to catch every barrier. Thanks to this, a WCAG audit from PTM Soft is both comprehensive and precise.
Step three: checking accessibility elements on the website
Our analysis covers multiple diverse areas to ensure full inclusivity. First and foremost, we check whether the website functions without a mouse—relying entirely on keyboard navigation. Experts on our team evaluate color contrast, font sizes, and proper heading structures. Furthermore, we verify that all graphics are equipped with descriptive alternative text. When it comes to forms, we make sure they are properly labeled, easily accessible, and respond correctly to errors. Our process also involves testing all messages, banners, links, and buttons. All of this is done to guarantee that the website fully complies with WCAG 2.1 or WCAG 2.2 standards.
Step four: preparing a detailed WCAG website audit report
PTM Soft cooperates with the ZNP in accordance with the guidelines of the FERS program. The team strictly adheres to the requirements for projects funded by European resources. The company ensures that the documentation complies with legal, technological, and accessibility standards. All activities are executed according to the schedule, and each stage of the work is coordinated with the ZNP project team. As a result, the project progresses smoothly and on track.

Upon completion of the tests, we compile a comprehensive report. It details all identified errors along with their level of criticality. The report pinpoints the exact locations of the issues and includes remediation suggestions as well as ready-made solutions. We describe what needs to be fixed and why, while also establishing priorities. This allows your team to start working on the improvements immediately. A report from PTM Soft is not just an evaluation—it is a practical tool for action.
Step five: planning corrective actions together
Clients are never left alone to handle the report on their own. Our team thoroughly discusses the audit results with your specialists, explaining which errors have the greatest impact on users. A tailored schedule is then proposed for implementing the fixes, and we can also actively participate in the remediation process. Should you wish, a comprehensive re-audit will be conducted once the changes are complete. This collaborative approach gives you total peace of mind that your website meets all digital accessibility requirements.
We use recognized tools for accessibility testing
During the audit, we use proven tools. We perform automated tests using Axe, WAVE, and Lighthouse. For manual testing, we utilize screen readers such as NVDA, VoiceOver, and JAWS. We also check accessibility across various devices and browsers. This ensures that your website functions correctly in every environment.
