It’s been almost a week since the passing away of Steve Jobs (co-founder of Apple) who created the iPhone. Now you might be asking yourself why you’re reading about Steve Jobs on a web design company blog, allow me to explain.

Steve Jobs made the internet more personal, before the iPhone, the internet experience people had on their phones was Sub-Par to put it nicely. You literally had to be by a desktop to take full advantage of the internet (websites). The introduction of the iPhone changed all of that and has had such a impact on the wireless industry that it forced other cell phone makers to set-up their game so to speak.

As Web Developers, I believe we have a special job assigned to us. Small business owners put their trust in us to provide and develop a website that represents their businesses to possibly tens of thousands of potential customers, even millions, and to me that’s a big responsibility.

Think about this, there are Millions of people with iPhones walking around on a daily basis, they can access your website at any point of the day. Advertising with your website on it, handing out a business card and postcards are all ways you can use to draw people to your website. And that makes it more important than ever to have a professionally designed website that represents your business the right way.

I actually started this company because of my old iPhone. I had access to websites whenever I needed to look at a local company’s website and I got tired of looking at really bad websites. I am talking about websites with terrible menu functions and no personally at all, just bland basic websites that actually were hurting the image of the company. I didn’t even know if it was the same company’s website that I was looking at because the website was so bad.

The customer in this day and age has now changed and I credit a majority of that reason to the iPhone. Your customers are carrying around the internet in their pocket and possibly your website! I love meeting a client after we finish a project for them and showing them their website on a mobile device, its a great feeling to me. Its an excited time in the web design industry because of the iPhone and we are looking forward to seeing whats ahead.

Thank you Steve for the iPhone…
