QR codes can be useful when creating business cards and marketing materials.
Format does not currently provide an in-house QR code generator, so it won't be possible to generate a QR code for your site from within the site builder. However, you can use any third-party QR code generator for this purpose.
Examples of free third-party QR code generators are:
All of the above services are reputable and free QR code generators, and can create QR codes suitable for business cards and other printed marketing materials.
Which URL to use when creating your QR code
It's important that you use the full version of your site's URL when generating your QR code. You can copy this URL directly from your browser's address bar when viewing your live site. For example:
- The browser's address bar, with the full URL for the current site displayed. The above screenshot showing format.com is only an example, and you should copy the URL of your own site.
Your site's full URL should begin with either https://www.
or http://
depending on whether you are using a custom domain name or a standard Format address. For example: https://www.janedovercourt.com
or http://jane-dovercourt.format.com
.
