Because it makes adding cool features to websites very easy without any coding, CSS or HTML. All the coding is done in the plugin and your WordPress pages and posts look amazing!

First of all, what are shortcodes?

In case you have not heard of shortcodes in WordPress, they are simple pieces of content that you can insert into pages or posts and they return amazing features to your website. An example of a shortcode would be [today] which will return today’s date. You only enter [today] and the shortcode will figure out the correct date to display, so it always shows the current date.
