Home | Gordon Chan - Front-end Web Developer Freelancer Consultant / Tutor / Shopify Expert

Hi!

Gordon Chan is a Front-end Web Developer / Engineer @ Hong Kong

Dedicated myself deeply to the world of web development. Contributed to various small to medium scale projects helping clients to establish corporate and campaign websites. Dedicated in Shopify platform but no longer engage in web development. Thanks for the opportunities my client gave me along the way.

Currently focus on personal project development, take part in interested projects and offer general Shopify consultant to friends (but not hands-on coding).

I am fine if you would like to seek for consultant about Shopify store setup. Or read my blog for more info.
