A Shopify Specialist in the Waterloo Region
Kitchener’s tech ecosystem is one of the strongest in Canada. From the startups along King Street to established manufacturers in the region, businesses here understand the value of good technology, and that includes e-commerce.
We’re Victoria Garland Creative Inc., a Shopify-focused agency based in nearby Fergus. We design, build, and grow Shopify stores for businesses across the Kitchener-Waterloo region and beyond. Our team has been building on Shopify for over 12 years. Not as a side offering, but as our core specialization.
Why Kitchener Businesses Choose Us
Proximity without the big-city overhead. We’re 40 minutes from downtown Kitchener. Close enough for in-person meetings, but based outside the GTA, which means competitive rates without compromising on quality.
Shopify specialists, not generalists. We don’t do WordPress. We don’t do Squarespace. We build on Shopify, and we’ve been doing it longer than most agencies have existed. That focus means we know the platform inside and out: its strengths, its limitations, and the best ways to work within both.
You talk to the people who build your store. No account managers, no telephone games. When you work with us, you’re communicating directly with the designers and developers on your project.
Recent Work in the Region
We’ve worked with businesses across southwestern Ontario, including clients in Kitchener-Waterloo, Guelph, and the broader Tri-Cities area. We also serve businesses in Waterloo, Toronto and the GTA, and across Ontario — same team, same rates, same approach.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work with Kitchener businesses on-site?
We're based in Fergus, about 40 minutes from Kitchener. We work with clients across the region and are happy to meet in person for kickoff sessions and key reviews. Most of our day-to-day collaboration happens over video calls and shared project boards.
How much does a Shopify store cost?
It depends on the scope. A theme customization starts around $3,000-$8,000. Custom theme builds range from $10,000-$30,000. We'll give you an honest assessment during a free discovery call. We won't push a bigger build than you need.
Can you help with an existing Shopify store?
Absolutely. Many of our clients come to us with existing stores that need performance improvements, redesigns, or new features. We'll audit what you have and recommend the most cost-effective path forward.
Do you only work with Shopify?
Yes. We've focused exclusively on the Shopify platform for over 12 years. That specialization means deeper platform knowledge, faster builds, and solutions that take full advantage of what Shopify offers.
