    I am developing a blog site using custom Short code. All the module and sections create using custom short code and I am using “Shortcode Ultimate” plugin to create these custom short codes.
    I need to know that if I develop my whole site using custom Short code, is it OK or not? Is there any technical problem to create a website with custom short codes only?
    I’m relatively new to WordPress. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    The problem with Shortcodes is that 9f your client or whoever decides to move away from your theme or plugin, they would then need to filter their content out of the shortcodes to “normalize” their content.

    There was a time (probably still is the case) where Page Builders used shortcodes for everything. Layout, modules, it was nested shortcodes everywhere. Moving a client out of a pagebuilder like this was a nightmare.

    This is why I would suggest using shortcodes sparingly and not to rely on them too much.
