Share Beautiful Mini Sites with QR Codes or Direct Links

Published on Nov 28, 2025

When you create a QR code on Twilee, you're not just generating a simple redirect. You're creating a complete hosted web page — a mini site that's beautifully designed, fully customizable, and ready to share instantly via QR code or direct link.

Whether you're promoting an event, sharing audio content, displaying important text, helping lost items find their way home, or consolidating your online presence, Twilee's hosted pages give you a professional web presence without the complexity of building a website.

What Are Twilee Hosted Pages?

Twilee hosted pages are mobile-optimized mini sites that display your content in a clean, professional format. Each page is:

  • Instantly accessible — no app downloads, no sign-ups required for viewers
  • Fast and reliable — hosted on high-performance infrastructure across multiple regions
  • Mobile-first designed — looks perfect on any smartphone, tablet, or desktop
  • SEO-friendly — properly structured for sharing on social media
  • Ad-free — clean, distraction-free experience for your audience
  • Always online — Multiple endpoints over the web

The best part? You can share these pages in two powerful ways:

  1. Via QR Code — perfect for physical materials, print media, products, or in-person events
  2. Via Direct Link — ideal for digital sharing on social media, emails, websites, or messaging apps

This flexibility means one page serves multiple purposes. Create once, share everywhere.

Two Ways to Share: QR Code AND Direct Link

Every Twilee hosted page comes with both a QR code and a shareable link. This dual-access approach maximizes your reach:

Share via QR Code

  • Print on flyers, posters, business cards, or product packaging
  • Display on screens, presentations, or digital signage
  • Add to print advertisements or event materials
  • Place on physical products or equipment
  • Include in restaurant menus, museum exhibits, or retail displays

Share via Direct Link

  • Post on social media (Instagram, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, TikTok)
  • Send in emails, newsletters, or messaging apps
  • Embed in your website or blog
  • Add to email signatures or digital business cards
  • Share in online communities or forums

Same content, two distribution methods. Your audience chooses how they access it.

Fully Customizable Design

Your hosted pages aren't generic templates — they're your brand's digital storefront. Twilee gives you complete control over appearance:

Template Styles

Choose between two distinct visual styles to match your brand aesthetic:

Bordered Style

  • Clean cards with defined borders
  • Structured, professional appearance
  • Excellent for business and corporate use
  • Clear visual hierarchy and separation

Borderless Style

  • Seamless, modern layout
  • Minimalist and elegant
  • Perfect for creative and lifestyle brands
  • Continuous flow between elements

Template Styling Options

Switch between styles instantly to see which resonates better with your audience.

Color Customization

Your brand has colors. Your hosted page should too:

  • Primary color — buttons, accents, and interactive elements
  • Background color — overall page background
  • Custom accents — links, borders, and highlights

Match your existing brand palette or experiment with new combinations. Changes apply instantly across your entire page.

Custom Top Image

First impressions matter. Add a custom header image to:

  • Showcase your brand logo or visual identity
  • Display event photography or product images
  • Create visual interest and engagement
  • Reinforce your message with imagery
  • Stand out when shared on social media

Rich Text Formatting

Content isn't just about words — it's about presentation. Twilee's rich text editor gives you complete formatting control:

Rich Text Formatting Features

Content Organization

  • Inline code formatting for technical content
  • Strikethrough for corrections or updates

This level of formatting means your hosted pages can be as simple or sophisticated as your content demands. From minimalist announcements to comprehensive guides, the choice is yours.

Dynamic Content, Forever Accessible

Here's where Twilee truly shines: your hosted pages are dynamic, not static.

No Reprinting Required

  • QR codes remain valid forever, even as content changes
  • Direct links never break

Why Hosted Pages Matter

Traditional QR codes simply redirect to existing websites. But not everyone has a website. Not every message needs a full website. And sometimes, you need something faster, simpler, and more focused.

Twilee hosted pages solve real problems:

  1. No website needed — get a professional web presence instantly
  2. Purpose-built templates — optimized for specific content types
  3. Mobile-first design — looks perfect on every device
  4. Lightning fast — no bloated websites or slow loading
  5. Complete control — your content, your brand, your message
  6. Forever flexible — update anytime without reprinting
  7. Dual distribution — share via QR code AND direct link

The Complete Package: QR Code + Hosted Page + Link

When you create content on Twilee, you get three powerful assets:

  1. QR Code — downloadable in multiple formats (PNG, SVG, PDF)
  2. Hosted Page — beautiful, customizable mini site
  3. Direct Link — shareable URL for digital distribution

These three elements work together seamlessly:

  • Print the QR code on physical materials
  • Share the link on social media and email
  • Update the hosted page content anytime
  • Track engagement through analytics
  • Maintain consistency across channels

One creation, three distribution methods, infinite possibilities.
