A QR Code can contain a wide range of information and is being used by businesses all over the world as a marketing tool. If you have a smart phone, and have one of the many free QR Code reading apps installed, simply take a picture of the code to the left and you will see the mobile version of this site.

So lets get really simple. A QR Code is a graphic which is created by a generator and can link to a website or information such as contact details.

By scanning a QR Code with an QR Code App on a mobile device the scanner then either sends you to a website or displays the information.

You can generate one of two types of QR Codes.

The first is called a Static QR Code and can be created for free on any number of free QR Code generators. As the name implies the information can not be changed.

The second is a Dynamic QR Code and these are generated by a specific generator and are linked to a data base which allows tracking and changes. They are usually a payment system.
