Awesome little plugin!

This plugin works well and adds the ability for users to create a link button in an easy and intuitive way. I am running it on multiple sites that I manage without any issues.

Super Useful

Just started using and this has proved very useful. The shortcode allows for enough options to be flexible without being overwhelming. Built in styles look great and the ability to use a custom class is fantastic. Does exactly what it says it will and quite well.
