Hi. I'm Harold.

Better Squares is a one-person walk-in QR code business. I make custom QR codes for local businesses, hand-test every one of them, and deliver in person.

I started Better Squares because I was sick of seeing QR codes that looked like they were generated in a hurry by someone who didn't care. I think a QR code on your storefront is a piece of your brand — it should look intentional. It should also actually scan.

So I built a four-level QA gate that runs on every code: three different scanner algorithms, real-world degradation simulation, vendor proof recheck, and a physical test on three phones in four lighting conditions. If a code fails any of those, it doesn't ship.

I'd rather lose the order than ship a bad code.

I also believe pricing should be plain. One-time. No subscriptions. No "growth plans." You pay for the QR, you own it, you put it on the wall. If it stops scanning in the first 30 days, I replace it free.
