Review:
Fancy QR Code creates codes that direct to websites and is very simple to use. On the left hand side of the page you select whether the site is http:// or https:// then simply put in the web address you want the code to direct to. Click the refresh code content button and the QR code for your desired site generates.

When using this particular code creator, you need to take a screen capture of the code that is generated. If you want to be able to save your code or manipulate it, you need to upgrade to a pro account.


Recommended Use for Public Health Messaging: I'm not really sold on QR codes. Some of the readers are hard to use and in practice, we find that people don't use them. However, one of my favorite uses that I think is the most useful is using a QR code to link to a copy of something that is in hard copy in front of someone or a link to the item that is written about.

For instance, maybe you have a really great poster up regarding making healthy choices, you could provide a QR code that links to an online version of the poster so people could in essence take the poster with them. Or if you have a handout,etc. about the benefits of using MyFitnessPal, the QR code could link to the app store. You'd need two codes, one for Android and one for iOS.
