Hello
I really dont know much about QR codes but I am told you can scan them from the website and the contact information can be sent to your smart phone
I have placed a QR code on my friends site and would like to know what I need to do to make it fully functional
Has anyone done this ?

- Nothing special. QR code needs to be scanned by someone in order to be functional. There is really nothing you have to do if you already published it on the site

- Thanks Igor, I actually misunderstood what my cleint wanted, he wants a visitor to scan the QR code and for the contact information to be placed directly into the vistors contact list on their phone. Im thinking this may be a coding job unless there is an exisiting app out there for this?

- I think that this really depends on the device visitor is using to scan QR codes. QR codes can contain only small amount of information and I am not sure that you can actually force adding contact info in visitors contact list by just scanning QR code

If you scan a QR-code with your smartphone it will fire up the browser and go to the specified URL. The size of the picture doesn't matter btw
Just make a contact page that the QR points to. - Please reply with a direct link to the issue & create a new thread for each new issue.
A template is only as good as the content that goes into it

Prim is actually right only in one case. If QR code contains web site URL, it will do as Prim says. If QR code contains something else, it will trigger some other action on smartphone. For example, you can code any kind of free text into QR code or even vCard. If you code for example, contact card, it might also trigger adding that contact details in smartphone contact list
Check this to see what can you code into QR code
www.qrstuff.com/
You can see on that site that you can embed vCard but also check this notification
VCARD information embedded in a QR Code will often result in a QR Code too dense for many mobile phones to read. To work around this, we recommend you choose the “link to download” option. This will embed a website link in the QR Code, and when someone scans the code, they will be taken to a web page that will prompt the user to download the VCARD VCF file (or, in the case of an iPhone user, to receive the VCF file by email.) - Check my services at: Mihha-Vision
