WordPress & Shopify sites that don't just look good — they track and convert.
I'm Forkan, a full-stack developer with 14+ years building WordPress and Shopify builds, then wiring them with GA4, GTM, Facebook CAPI and GoHighLevel so every dollar of spend is actually accounted for.
The code, not just the config.
I build and fix WordPress and Shopify sites for a living — custom builds and repairs in Elementor, Divi, Avada and WPBakery on the WordPress side, and full-stack Shopify setups with custom theme development (Dawn, Impulse, or built from a Figma/PSD file), Liquid customization, and app integration on the commerce side.
The other half of what I do is tracking and automation: GoHighLevel agency setup and workflows, GA4 & GTM event tracking, and Facebook CAPI — so your spend data is accurate and your funnels actually convert, instead of guessing from half-tagged analytics.
With a background in PHP, React/JS, Node.js and REST APIs, when something breaks I can trace it to the root cause instead of re-configuring plugins until it goes away.
Full-time availability
Backup power and internet on hand, so deadlines don't slip on my end.
Fast, direct communication
4–8 hour average response time and clear updates, not radio silence between milestones.
Agency-licensed tools, no extra cost
Long-term clients get access to my Elementor Pro, Divi, Avada and GoHighLevel sub-account licenses.
Verified & vetted
ID verified, phone verified, and a military veteran — reliability isn't just a claim on my profile.
Three things, done properly.
