+ Considerations
+
+ QR codes can be great but they come with lots of problems. The best use
+ case is physically printed QR codes.
+
+
+ We should stick to hyperlinks (or copy pasting links) in the digital
+ space as much as possible as this gives the end user the best experience
+ and will work best across most devices and platforms.
+
+
+ -
+ Always write out the link in the content you are using a QR code. If
+ you don&t do this you are locking out people without a QR code
+ reader.
+
+ -
+ Consider where the user is viewing the QR code. If you are using it in
+ a social media post, how are they going to scan the code if they are
+ viewing on their QR scanner? Or if they are viewing on a computer you
+ are forcing them onto their phone which they probably don&t want.
