Rutland, VT (PRWEB) April 19, 2006 -- AvenidaMall.com has been chosen to be showcased on Coolhomepages.com, one of the leading “best of the best” award sites on the internet. This positions AvenidaMall.com as one of the most innovative and interesting websites of its kind anywhere.

Since its launch in February of 2006, AvanidaMall.com has put the visitor right into an interactive shopping mall experience. Unlike other 3D online malls, visitors are not required to download any special plugins they probably don’t already have installed in their computer. This allows shoppers to browse around the mall by just moving their computer mouse.

AvenidaMall.com, while still evolving, has two main "plazas" - West Plaza and East Plaza - and uses the proven and widespread Macromedia Flash technology to create a fun way to browse from store to store. After the main image loads, the user just moves the mouse left and right, up and down, and the simulated outdoor mall will scroll intuitively. When the visitor finds a store he or she wants to visit, a simple click of the mouse over the store will send the visitor to a 3D storefront page. This allows the visitor to read a little bit about the retailer and enter their online website by clicking the sign above the doorway.

Willi Waizenegger, developer of AvenidaMall.com and an expert in 3D imagery, Flash animation and website design, said, "Having a great site like Coolhomepages.com showcase AvenidaMall.com shows that we are doing something right, designwise. It’s also increased site traffic by around seven times. I love it."

AvenidaMall.com features some big-name retailers; companies most people know and trust. Their online stores use safe and proven online shopping technologies. And, new retailers are being added all the time.

For Avenidamall.com, using the Flash technology proved ideal because most home computer systems have a copy of the plugin already installed. The user can go to the site and start using it right away. Waizenegger especially wanted it to be easy, saying, "I thought long and hard as to how I wanted this mall to look and operate. The simplicity of it proved to be a lot of hard work, but I think it’s worth it."

AvenidaMall.com is still a work in progress. The eventual aim is to put the visitor right in the mall, much like a video game, and be able to shop around, looking at merchandise. While other ventures have attempted the same thing, they always require visitors to download unproven software. AvenidaMall.com wants to be a safe and easy place for users to shop big name retailers.
