QLC is a quality management and investment-funding consultancy with more than 20 years of practice. The firm develops and applies quality management systems that raise the bar of excellence inside its clients’ organisations, runs internal and second-party audits, supports management systems on an ongoing basis, and designs and submits investment projects that secure the funding businesses need to grow — with a track record of high success rates. Alongside the consultancy, QLC operates its own pilot laboratory, equipped with modern classical microbiology instruments and specialised setups — a space for innovation and exploration of what microorganisms can do. Across two decades the practice has shaped 700+ management systems, run 3000+ internal audits, delivered 160+ funded investment projects and 70+ funded research projects, and built a network of 600+ partner organisations. In collaboration with Blind Studio (design), Kukarika delivered a custom WordPress + ACF platform that brings the services, the track record, the laboratory, and the partner network together under one quietly authoritative roof.

A consultancy whose value lies in rigour, track record, and the trust of 600+ partner organisations. The site had to read with the same precision the firm carries into every audit and every investment submission — and stay easy for the QLC team to keep current as new projects close and new services launch.

01

Multi-service offering

Management systems development, internal audits, ongoing support, second-party audits, and investment-funding submissions are distinct services with different buyers. Each needed its own clear editorial space.

02

Two-decade track record

3000+ audits, 700+ management systems, 160+ funded investment projects, 70+ funded research projects, 600+ partner organisations. The numbers had to land — prominent, animated, undeniable — not buried in body copy.

03

Investment-funding audience

The funding service line speaks to a different reader than the management-systems one. The site had to address both without splitting the brand or repeating itself.

04

In-house microbiology lab

The pilot laboratory is a real differentiator — modern classical microbiology instruments and specialised setups. It needed an editorial home that read as a working lab, not a marketing slide.

05

Authority + warmth

A quality consultancy has to feel rigorous and trustworthy without going cold. The voice and the layout had to communicate precision and partnership at the same time.

06

Content autonomy

The team needed to manage services, news, project case studies, and partner updates directly — no developer in the loop every time a new funded project closes.

A custom WordPress + ACF platform designed alongside Blind Studio — restrained typography, image-led composition, structured proof. Services, numbers, investment cases, and the microbiology lab each get their own editorial home, and the QLC team manages all of it without code.

Custom WordPress + ACF Platform

  • WordPress + Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) for maximum content flexibility
  • ACF Flexible Content blocks for services, investment cases, lab pages, and editorial features
  • Custom post types for services, investment projects, partners, and team members with rich metadata — service line, sector, year, funding instrument, status
  • Editor-friendly back-office that gives QLC control over composition, not just copy
  • Modular architecture that grows with the practice — new services, new funded projects, new partners all plug straight in

Design Collaboration with Blind Studio

  • Blind Studio led the visual identity — restrained typography, generous whitespace, photography-led composition
  • Kukarika translated the design into a pixel-perfect, responsive WordPress theme
  • Brand consistency from typography to spacing to image treatment, on every screen
  • Mobile-first execution that holds the same precision the consultancy carries into every audit and submission

Services Architecture

  • Dedicated pages for each service line — Management Systems Development, Internal Audits, Management Systems Support, Second-Party Audits, and Investment Project Funding
  • Each service explains the value, the process, and the typical client — not just a list of deliverables
  • Cross-linking from services to the relevant funded projects and partners, so proof sits one click from any service page
  • Structured so the firm reads as one practice with clearly defined offerings, not a generic consultancy menu

Track Record · The Numbers

  • A prominent stats module surfacing the firm's 20+ year track record — 3000+ internal audits, 700+ management systems, 160+ funded investment projects, 70+ funded research projects, 600+ partner organisations
  • Numbers animate into view on scroll for clean editorial impact
  • Each metric cross-links to the relevant service line so visitors land on the proof immediately
  • Editor-managed values — counters update from the back-office as the track record grows

Investment Funding Pipeline

  • Dedicated module for QLC's investment-project work — case studies of funded projects, sectors covered, funding instruments, and outcomes
  • Filterable by sector, funding instrument, and year — visitors find relevant precedent fast
  • A clear path from a "Looking for funding" landing into the funded-project gallery, the success metrics, and the team behind the work
  • Built to expand — every new closed project plugs into the existing archive without restructuring

Microbiology Pilot Laboratory

  • A dedicated editorial home for the in-house pilot laboratory — modern classical microbiology instruments and specialised setups presented as the working space they are
  • Photography of the lab and its equipment, plus structured content on capabilities, areas of exploration, and the kinds of work the lab supports
  • Cross-linked with the research-projects archive so visitors see lab + funded research as one capability
  • Positions the lab as a real differentiator within the consultancy market — not a press-release page

Partner & Trust Layer

  • A structured partner directory covering the 600+ organisations QLC has worked with — sortable, filterable, browsable
  • Per-partner pages where appropriate, with context on the relationship and the projects involved
  • Strengthens the authority of every service page — proof is never more than a click away
  • Editor-managed so the network can be kept current as new organisations join

Performance & Maintenance

  • Lazy loading and adaptive image delivery tuned for large-scale laboratory and project photography
  • Cloudflare CDN delivery for fast loads across devices and regions
  • Core Web Vitals tuned so the consultancy reads as polished on every connection
  • Continuous platform maintenance — updates, security, content support — handled by Kukarika

A digital presence that reads like the practice — rigorous, image-led, proof-forward — and a platform the QLC team runs themselves as services, funded projects, and partners continue to grow.

// Outcome

The QLC website is a digital extension of 20+ years of quality work — the same rigour in audits, the same precision in investment funding, the same care in the microbiology lab show up on every page.

With Blind Studio's visual leadership and Kukarika's modular WordPress + ACF development, the practice now has an authoritative, image-led, editor-friendly platform that grows with new services, new funded projects, and new partners — one that lets the numbers, the work, and the lab speak for the brand from the moment a client lands on it.
