Kalos Interactive Design is proud to announce the launch of the new avenue:two design website. Avenue:two design is the remarkable handy-work of Jeff Faine, a talented furniture designer from Iowa, currently residing in Denver, Colorado. He is LEED certified and strives for the perfect balance of design and utility. Jeff’s stringent work philosophy promotes his strong work ethic. He says, “Many of my design and construction philosophies can be attributed to watching and working with my father for many years. Whether it be framing an addition to the house, landscaping the backyard, or plumbing a new sink, there was always a sense of pride and integrity instilled into every project. The ‘do it right, or don’t do it at all’ mentality my father portrayed is the foundation for each piece I create.”

I’ve structured my business around innovative designs that are focused on clean aesthetics and maximum functionality. Oftentimes products are designed in a manner in which one of these factors is sacrificed, or neither are present. I believe aesthetics and functionality are not mutually exclusive.

Jeff’s furniture designs are equally as impressive as his work ethic. His designs are “innovative designs that are focused on clean aesthetics and maximum functionality.” Each piece is intentionally unique and personally hand-crafted to the highest standards. His designs have been recognized and featured in the 2010 Parade of Homes (see the American Dream starting on page 26) this past August. Give his new site a visit and drop him a line on his blog, integrated into the new site.

The site is effectually consistent with the clean red avenue:two design branding and mantra of “Clean Aesthetics & Maximum Functionality”. Thus, utilizing a clean full-screen layout with the navigation, footer and logo properly anchored to their respective places in the browser, allowing for a maximum viewing area and a strong image presentation.  The site is another Kalos Interactive example of an HTML/CSS/Java Script site that is search-engine friendly and non Flash, however still utilizing some motion, full screen imagery and clean layout often only realized using Adobe Flash.  One of the objectives for the site was to create an appealing and sleek design-forward site utilizing clean navigation, thematic full-screen imagery, and some nice little Java Script extras, providing a clean and sophisticated user experience.

Through XHTML, Java Script, Ajax, some fancy scripting, a little pixel pushing, and a magic wand, we patiently nurtured our concept into reality. The sexy one page design is deceptively complex, offering the user a simple interface with sleek movement to easily get where you need to go. We load some content dynamically in an orderly fashion that is well though-through, purposeful, and clean. This allows for maximum site content, that is organized and purposeful. Much planning and forethought went into the architecture and design of the site, allowing for everything to have a home and a purpose, and simply not allowing some features or elements to be an afterthought that is just out-of-place.

Here at Kalos Interactive, we believe that websites should be clean and clutter-free with simple navigation, so the user can have a positive experience, able to find just what they are looking for and hopefully, even enjoy the experience along the way. On this site, overtly obvious navigation and a sleek search feature is first and foremost always just where you want it, namely right in front of you. Luscious imagery is another value of ours and pictures are indeed worth a thousand words! On all our sites, we strive to use vivid imagery and photography.

We listened to you, the user, thus the site also includes a myriad of new features from social networking buttons, product brand icons & links, a job application, the unique store history (since 1955), press & awards, a new robust products section (in which you can zoom-in and almost feel the bike in your hands), fancy deep-linking, a JS share feature, a built-in blog, directions and a map, a slick active search feature, and some fancy motion. Spend some time perusing the new bike you are after, read their blog, learn about who they are, or just get directions, so you can go-ahead and give them a visit!
