Introducing QRpage: the mini website behind a QR code

I want to introduce a new little tool from the same workshop that builds Leaderboarded: qrpage.co.

Most people who reach for a QR code think they just need the code. They don't. A QR code is only an address — it has to point somewhere. Run your details through any free generator and the code works fine, but it opens onto a long ugly link, or onto nothing useful at all.

QRpage makes the somewhere. You fill in a few fields — a title, some photos, a price or a contact, maybe a map — and a mini website builds itself live as you type. Out the other end comes a print-ready A4 poster with the QR code already placed on it, plus a short link to share. Both halves, in about five minutes.

It's built for the single, real-world moment rather than for running a workflow:

• A window sign for the car you're selling, so people can scan it from the kerb
• A weather-resistant plaque next to the old oak, the orchard, or the smokehouse
• A label on the honey jar that opens where the bees forage and when the batch was harvested
• A programme at every place setting at a wedding, with the schedule and a photo-upload for guests
• A marker post on a trail, or an "if found" tag on luggage that reaches you without your home address printed on it

No account, no app, free to start. Made in Berlin, in German and English. If any of that fits something you're printing this week — give it a try.
