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 organization 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,
* organizational 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".
