New Hamburg's Common Sense Design gives Kitchener Waterloo Habilitation
Services its first online home
Social enterprise agency, Kitchener Waterloo Habilitation Services
(KWHS), has just launched its first foray onto the Web. Recently,
it commissioned New Hamburg's Common Sense Design to create its
Web site, which went live in early August 2006: www.kwhab.ca.
KWHS is a non-profit that helps people with developmental disabilities
to live in the community and be active participants. It accomplishes
this by helping them find work, find a home and offering other forms
of practical assistance.
The organisation can trace its history back to 1958 and now feels
that the time is right to launch its first online presence. The
new Web site contains:
comprehensive information about KWHS's services,
background history,
organisational structure, and
individual success stories.
The aim of the site is to make details of KWHS accessible to as
many people as possible.
Common Sense Design - www.commonsensedesign.net - is a one-man design firm founded in 2003 by British-born Nigel
Gordijk. Based in New Hamburg and Brighton, England, Nigel worked
on the project in both locations.
"This project wouldn't have been possible without the Internet",
says Nigel. "We used email, the Web and an online phone service
to keep in touch over the past few weeks".
