Develop a site for the iPhone
Now you’re talking! You are going to develop a website specifically for the iPhone. You need to learn what is possible from here http://developer.apple.com/safari/mobile.php and start putting it all together.
The idea is to build a web app that lives comfortably on the iPhone, preserves the visual style and behaviors the iPhone users are used to and takes advantage of the special features of the platform such as gestures, orientation changes, etc.
You don’t have to start from scratch. There are plenty of great resources that provide a good starting point or framework to build your iPhone:
iUI: Allows you to create navigational menus and iPhone interfaces, with a minimal knowledge of JavaScript. It provides an ability to handle the phone orientation change and an experience that is more iPhone like. iUI is a library of JavaScript and CSS that is intended to mimic the look and feel of the iPhone on web pages. http://code.google.com/p/iui/
Webkit: Safari is a webkit based browser. Webkit adds a whole lot of functionality that takes advantage of unique iPhone features (database accessible to your app, understanding iPhone gestures, orientation sensing and much more) check it out here: http://www.westciv.com/iphonetests/
Aptana Studio: An IDE that includes an iPhone site project starter. It contains management of phone orientation and other goodies. It will even preview your site in a mock iPhone screen: http://www.aptana.com
jQuery plug-in for the iPhone: jQuery is a lightweight, surprisingly powerful JavaScript library. Jonathan Neal created a jQuery plugin for the iPhone which helps you put together an iPhone centric web app. http://plugins.jquery.com/project/iphone
