Project Story

For over 25 years, Westgard QC has provided the latest news, education, and tools in the quality control field. Their goal is to bring tools, technology and training into today’s healthcare industry — by featuring QC lessons, QC case studies and frequent essays from leaders in the quality control area.

We were initially brought on by another Joomla agency to provide various Joomla support to Westgard, however this agency sadly shut down and IDL Web resumed its services and support directly with Westgard for many years since.

Recently we helped move the various Westgard tools to another VPS hosting environment.  We are also finalizing a migration to move their blogs from an old outdated 3rd party blogging platform directly into the Joomla site using EasyBlog – our recommending Joomla blogging extension.

Towards the end of 2024 and beginning of 2025, the IDL Web marketing team got involved with organic SEO  and Google Ads Pay-Per-Click work for Westgard QC.
