You’ve heard about or seen those pixelated squares they call QR codes, but what are they, what do they do and how do they work?
QR, or Quick Response, codes are an emerging marketing tool utilizing smartphones’ capabilities to scan an image, store data, and access the internet. QR codes are images that tell your smartphone to open a specific webpage on its web browser when they are “read” by a QR Reader. Common uses include links to contact information, details about a special event or an advertisement for current promotions or coupons. Anyone can create custom QR code and they can be shared in a variety of ways.
Common Uses & How QR Codes Are Shared
QR codes can be used for a variety of things you want to promote/share, such as:
QR codes can be shared on printed material, for example business cards, resumes and posters or digitally, on computer screens or another handheld device.

Back in 2003 or 2004 we created a website for Ronnie Waters with Waters Sound. It was great back then, but when he approached us earlier this year about updating his website we gave him a big high five for making a smart decision. Before, the website was built in tables, very narrow and had dated pictures from events he had DJed. Now, the Waters Sound website is built using current web standards, wider to help fill up modern screens and has up-to-date images from recent events.

BEFORE: WatersSound.com's old website (from 2003 or 2004) was built using tables, narrow, and had dated images from events long ago.

AFTER: WatersSound.com is built using the latest web standards, is wider and has up to date images from recent events.
As it says on their website, “Waters Sound & Light has been in business for over a decade providing premium quality entertainment services to the mid-Missouri area. Every event is custom tailored to meet your needs and exceed your expectations.” Check out the transformation at WatersSound.com.

We’ve been working with Penn Vet Working Dog Center for months now to develop a new website for them. After getting to know them and their needs, we’ve developed a website they have the power to update themselves; that provides information to their researchers, participants and the public; and has the ability to grow and expand as they do more studies and research to benefit the k-9 community.
Some of our favorite features about this site include the ability to sort posts alphabetically and the spiffy slideshows for sponsor logos. Congratulations to Penn Vet Working Dog Center your website is complete – that is, until you are ready to expand upon it and build it into more greatness. So, everyone, go check it out!
Every time we complete a project we give each other high fives to celebrate, but this time we’re pretty sure the clients deserve a big pat on the back too. The attorneys at Jones, Schneider & Stevens, LLC now have one sharp looking website with photos taken by Casey Buckman and designs by yours truely.
Jones, Schneider & Stevens, LLC wanted to take their website one step further though. We also built a mobile landing page with their address linking to Google Maps, phone number linking so a mobile device can click to dial, each individuals’ name linking to their e-mail and a button for anyone interested to be able to enter their main website. The kicker? After clicking to view the main website, users won’t have to see the mobile landing page again until one hour has passed.
So, go check out our latest creation – even if you’re on the go!
We had 9 people attend our HTML Bootcamp today and all 9 graduated!
