For many years, builder Jeff Click said he has felt alone in his devotion to Apple computers.

What's surprising to him now is that eight out of 10 people who come to tour Click's homes with a cell phone in hand are carrying an iPhone.

"Something about my work resonates with people who also have iPhones,” Click said.

For that reason, Click said, he created an iPhone version of JeffClickHomes.com, which pops up automatically when an iPhone user looks up his Web site.

Click, a self-described geek, has always thrived in the world of developing technology.

Ten years ago, he earned a degree in telecommunications with a minor in computer science from Oklahoma Baptist University in Shawnee. While still in college, he started a computer company called Clixsounds, which designed and developed custom interface systems for Macintosh computers.

The iPhone Web sites are formatted especially for iPhone screens. In the case of the Click site, it has less information than the regular Web site, but it does include the most important elements: price and a few details about the homes he has for sale.

In addition, it is integrated with Google maps, so a home shopper has immediate help in finding one of Click's homes.

"It works perfectly. Typical Apple style. Very cool. Very convenient,” said Click, who, of course, has an iPhone of his own.
