Quick Response [QR] Codes

QR codes are a type of barcode easily readable with digital devices like smartphones. A QR code can store about 7,000 digits or around 4,000 characters, including punctuation and special characters and can encode information like phone numbers and website addresses. 

One of the best things about them is that they are FREE and easy to create! You can create your own QR codes and put them on your business cards, sales flyers, posters and more. QR codes function best when placed on printed materials to point people to digital content—like your website. 

Fastest way to create a QR code:

If you use Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome as your browser follow these steps:

1. Type in the link to your website:

2. While your curser is still in the address bar you will see a square icon - click it!

That's it! You now have a QR code for your website.

Advanced Option

If you do not have that featured in your browser, or if you want to store your contact info, address or phone number, try using a site like QR Code Monkey to make your QR code. QR Code Monkey even allows you to change colors, add your logo and more. You could end up with a totally unique code like ours:
