How to Design a QR Code
Many mobile phones with cameras have built-in support for QR (Quick Response) codes. You may have seen these small square codes in advertisements or in print media. QR codes contain encoded website addresses, and a mobile phone with support for them can browse immediately to the website that a QR code references simply by taking a picture of the code. Design a QR code for your website by visiting one of the many free QR code generators available online.
