How to create a QR code for a Website
Website QR codes can be static or dynamic. The former can prove to be beneficial, provided they are used under the right circumstances. However, if you want to have access to additional benefits and features, you may want to look for a QR code generator like uQR.me. We offer dynamic QR codes, the natural evolution of static QR codes.
These are their main benefits:
- You can change a dynamic QR code’s content as many times as you want without having to reprint it.
- You can track and measure its statistics, which include data like daily geolocation, mobile devices, browsers, etc.
- You can use its encoded short URL on the web alongside the QR code itself in the real world.
- You can activate its redirecting page to show a piece of information before the actual content loads up.
- You can customize it as you please, boosting your brand identity by adding a logo, for example.
Once you choose a plan that suits your needs, you will be able to create your dynamic QR code, set its type as “Website,” and download it to start using it on your printed materials. It is as easy as that!

Website QR code insights
Website QR codes are not limited to, well, websites. You could, for example:
- Link the QR code to a hidden page within your website that can only be accessed by scanning the QR code to obtain a discount or promotion.
- Link the QR code to your social media platform (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.).
- Link the QR code to a checkout page within your website to purchase an in-store product.
All of the above offer great marketing opportunities while incentivizing your target audience to scan your QR code. They would be able to access exclusive and unique content without having to type in a single letter.
This is the most common kind of code. Many times, QR codes link to a website where customers or potential clients can find useful information, free resources, coupons, or a landing page of services.
Getting a QR code for your website can be helpful when you want to promote your service as a company or freelance and increase the number of email subscribers. You can send your readers or clients to a landing page with useful information and even free resources in return for their email address by just scanning a QR code.
How to scan a QR code
A few years ago, scanning a QR code was cumbersome. You would have to download a reader app to do so. Although the majority of them were, and still are, free, having to go out of your way to access INSTANT content was a hassle.
Nowadays, this is not the case; chances are your smartphone is already a scanner. Most operating systems and browsers come equipped with built-in readers. All you have to do is enable it from the respective settings. Afterward, place the camera over the QR, and in a matter of seconds, you’ll be redirected to the content. Easy-peasy.
