What It Does
ND Shortcodes adds a set of pre-built components (such as buttons, tabs, and other UI elements) that work inside either Elementor or WP Bakery Page Builder, letting users drop ready-made widgets into their pages without writing code. It is positioned as a lightweight companion rather than a full design suite, covering common shortcode needs across two different page builders.
Who It's For
This plugin suits smaller sites built on WP Bakery or older Elementor projects where the user wants a handful of quick, responsive components without installing a large addon library. It is a reasonable fit for freelancers or small agencies on a budget who already know they will not need heavy template kits or advanced widgets.
Who Should Skip It
If you are running a modern Elementor-only site or need thousands of installs worth of community testing, you should skip this plugin and use one of the top-rated alternatives like Essential Addons or Elementor itself. Sites with serious support expectations should also avoid it given the 0% resolution rate and zero public support threads.
The Bottom Line
ND Shortcodes is a niche, low-traffic addon that delivers basic components for two page builders, but its 0% support resolution rate, tiny rating pool, and weak quality score of 55.36 make it a hard sell against alternatives scoring in the 90s. It is only worth considering if you are already locked into a niche setup that benefits from its specific components and do not care about strong support. For most users, the alternatives listed above are the safer bet.
