    Hello...

    If you have an iPhone, or you have an active website where you know that some users might have iPhone's/ iPod Touch's and might want to bookmark there site on the iPhone. Unfortunately, if the webmaster hasn't created a special icon, it will appear so ugly to the user that most iPhone (and iTouch) users will no longer even want the icon on there home screen of there iPhone and iPod Touch.

    I went to a various number of sites to see which ones looked better. Its quite easily identifiable.

    For just $5, with your sites name and URL I can create at least 3 icons for your site. Then using some of my subdomain for my site I can test them and show you a screenshot of what they look like on a iPhone/ iPod Touch home screen. Then you select your favorite, I get you the code, and you upload it to your site!

    Please post here if you are interested.

    Cheers :)

    Edit: Please no adult sites

    I have PM'ed you with more info, but just incase other people are wondering here is a little more description:

    First off, if a user has an iPhone or iPod Touch they have whats called a home screen. This is basically the menu where they can navigate to there various applications on there iPhone or iPod Touch. With some new updates to the iPhone and iPod Touch Apple has added the ability for users to bookmark sites to there home screen for easy, one click access to the site. This icon, plus your sites name is then displayed in a convenient fashion on one of the many home-screens for iPhone and iPod Touch users.

    To show benefit I'll give a slight example. If you have 3 words and a small icon to describe your site you would make it the best you can right? Obviously if your icon is pathetic and makes no sense, or is a default then your site is no longer appealing for a first glance and the user doesn't want some hideous default icon cluttering there home screen. If you have a smooth, sexy, and elegant icon, users would feel inclined to keep it on there home screen and thus not forget about your site and continue to view it regularly from there iPhone/ iPod Touch.
    As you can see above, thats a screen shot of a possible home screen. Now look at the New York Times one... if that was some hideous icon, even if you loved the NYT's would you want it on your home screen? Probably not, therefore shrinking your visits to that site. But considering they have a nice icon, I love having it one my iPhone's home screen and I find myself at there site more and more!

    Cheers :)
