A Shopify Specialist for Barrie and Simcoe County
Barrie is one of the fastest-growing markets in the province, with a commuter-driven base of retailers and founders building businesses that serve both the city and the cottage-country traffic moving through it. The brands winning online here run stores that load fast and convert well, then scale as the city grows.
We’re Victoria Garland Creative Inc., a Shopify-focused agency based in Fergus. We design and build Shopify stores for brands across Barrie and Simcoe County, then help them grow. Our team has built exclusively on Shopify for over 14 years, as our entire focus rather than one service among many.
Why Barrie Brands Choose a Specialist
Proximity without the overhead. We’re about 90 minutes from Barrie. Close enough for in-person kickoffs, based outside the GTA, so our rates stay competitive without cutting corners.
Shopify only, for 14+ years. We don’t build WordPress or Squarespace. We know the platform’s strengths and where it falls short, and we solve harder problems with custom apps on Gadget.dev rather than theme workarounds.
You talk to the people who build your store. No account managers relaying messages. You work directly with the designers and developers on your project.
From First Store to Scaling Up
Whether you’re a Simcoe County retailer launching online for the first time or an established brand outgrowing a template, we build for where you are now with room to grow. When the store needs more than a theme, we handle platform migrations and Shopify Plus builds too.
We serve brands across Collingwood, Toronto and the GTA, Guelph, and all of Ontario. Same team, same rates, wherever you’re based. See our portfolio or book a free consultation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are you based in Barrie?
We're based in Fergus, Ontario, about 90 minutes from Barrie. We work remotely with clients across Simcoe County and meet in person for kickoffs and key milestones.
Why hire a Shopify specialist instead of a local generalist?
Barrie has plenty of web shops that do a bit of everything. We've built only on Shopify for 14+ years. That focus means faster builds and cleaner code, plus solutions a theme-only shop can't reach.
Do you work with Barrie retailers going online for the first time?
Yes. A lot of Simcoe County retailers are adding their first real online channel. We build a store sized to where your business is now, with room to grow, and we won't push a bigger build than you need.
How much does a Shopify store cost?
It depends on scope. Theme customization typically starts around $3,000-$8,000, and custom builds run $10,000-$30,000. We give you an honest assessment on a free discovery call.
