Local. Walk-in. By appointment with a briefcase.

Your QR code is a sad black square tell it to do better.

I make custom QR codes for local businesses. The kind that don't look like something a parking enforcement officer slapped on your window. Real art. Real scannable. Printed on real materials. Delivered by a real person who shows up.

// no commitment

Try one before you decide.

I'll show up with a sample piece — already made for your shop. Stick it on a window or counter for two weeks. Scan it. Watch the analytics. If it doesn't earn its place, I take it back.

No commitment, no upsell email sequence, no pressure.

// the problem

Walk down any main street.
Look at the windows.
Notice anything?

Before
qr_code_2

The QR code on every restaurant window, every coffee shop counter, every salon front desk: a generic black-and-white square that someone made on a free generator at 2pm on a Tuesday and never thought about again.

It looks bad. It often doesn't even scan because it's printed on glossy laminate that catches afternoon glare. It says nothing about your brand. It might as well say "we don't care."

You can do better than that.

Better Squares makes the kind that look like art. Woven around a QR pattern that reliably scans every time, custom-made for your specific business — your colors, your vibe, the thing your shop actually feels like inside. (Yes, AI-assisted under the hood. The wedge is everything that happens after.)

Then I print it on matte vinyl — that part isn't optional. Glossy laminate kills scan rates and the research on this is unambiguous. Every code passes a four-level QA gate targeting the 95% real-world reliability ceiling for image-embedded codes. If yours arrives and doesn't scan, I make it right.

The boring square's days are numbered.

// how it works

Three steps. That's it.

1
work

I show up with a briefcase.

Inside: a range of sample pieces in different styles, plus one I already made for your shop specifically. Try it for two weeks. Scan-test it on your own phones, in your own lighting. Watch the analytics from real customer scans roll in. No commitment.

2
design_services

You choose what you want.

Pick the style and tier that fits — what your shop actually feels like inside. Order online from the catalog. The sample piece I left becomes the model for the production run; same artwork, same brand, same destination URL.

3
check_circle

It shows up quickly.

Printed on matte vinyl, scan-tested, and shipped to your door. One-time payment. Your bsq.sh short link stays live forever — change the destination URL anytime without reprinting. If a piece arrives and doesn't scan, I make it right.

// what it costs

+ Your short link stays alive — forever

Any purchase — a single sticker, a set, or the analytics tier — keeps your bsq.sh/<your-slug> redirect on the air permanently. Re-do your website, change your menu URL, switch booking platforms — the printed QR keeps working because you re-point the destination, not the code itself.

+ Tracked link & analytics

$49 once. Ever. See where, when, and how often it gets scanned. Hosted on reliable Cloudflare servers, no monthly anything.

// the promise

If it doesn't scan,
it doesn't leave my shop.

Most "fancy QR codes" online look amazing in screenshots and fail under real-world conditions — afternoon sun, store lighting, bad camera angles. You don't see the failures because nobody tests them.

I do. Every single piece, every single time. It's tedious and it's the entire point.

Tested

Every code, every time

  • 3 scanner algorithms, clean and degraded
  • Vendor proof + physical sample test before printing
  • Matte substrate always, no glare
  • Permanent bsq.sh short link, change destination anytime
