A method of providing digital media content to an electronic device including an image reading mechanism based on an associated reference image, comprising:
- storing first and second digital media content in a database;
- associating a first uniform resource locator (URL) with a first reference image and associating a second URL with a second reference image, the first reference image including a quick response code decodable by an electronic device into the first URL and the second reference image including a quick response code decodable by an electronic device into the second URL;
- creating a first web page including the first digital media content for the first URL associated with the first reference image;
- creating a second web page including the second digital media content for the second URL associated with the second reference image;
- receiving one of the first URL associated with the first reference image, the first reference image, the second URL associated with the second reference image, and the second reference image from an electronic device via a network;
- and
- forwarding the corresponding one of the first web page including the first digital media content and the second web page including the second digital media content to the electronic device via a network based on the one of the first URL associated with the first reference image, the first reference image, the second URL associated with the second reference image, and the second reference image received from an electronic device, the first web page including the first digital media content and the second web page including the second digital media content viewable by a User of the electronic device via a web page viewing application.
