Hi fellow developers, and users,

I'm looking to create an iPhone-specific version of our website (www.100sounds.com a.k.a. www.NoTieSoftware.com), so when users click on the (i) info page in our app, and press on the website button, Safari shows them an easy, familiar interface. The current site 'works' in the iPhone but it's clearly not an iPhone-specific site.

I already have code in the site (PHP) that determines if the visitor is using an iPhone or iPod Touch, and instead of showing the Flash demo (which won't work on an iPhone), it shows an animated gif. But that's the extent of the site's iPhone-specific programming.

I'm thinking of 4 vertical buttons (Sounds, Review, Help/FAQs), with 'slides to the right', and a Back button on subsequent pages, etc... so it looks like an iPhone app or site.

Any recommendations re sample code, or services-for-hire? Yes, I've googled but i'm not satisfied with the results. I only need 5 pages. I'd like the advice/recommendation of folks here.
