Shopify Is All We Do
Victoria Garland Creative Inc. is a Shopify-focused agency based in Fergus, Ontario, doing Shopify development across the province. Design. Development. Growth. We’ve been building exclusively on the Shopify platform for over 14 years, making us one of the most experienced Shopify development agencies in Ontario.
Our office is in Fergus, a Wellington County town between Guelph and Kitchener-Waterloo, and our client base stretches from Windsor to Ottawa. One platform, on purpose: no WordPress division, no Squarespace package, no 15-platform service menu. After 14+ years and 150+ shipped projects, plus three apps of our own in the Shopify App Store, the platform holds very few surprises for us.
That specialization matters because:
- We build faster. We’re not learning on your project. We’ve solved most common Shopify challenges dozens of times.
- We build better. Every store is performance-tuned for Core Web Vitals from day one, not bolted on as an “optimization project” after launch.
- We go deeper. We don’t just customize themes. We build custom Shopify apps on Gadget.dev. When your store needs custom functionality, we can build it as a proper app rather than patching together workarounds.
Beyond the build, we cover the work that keeps an Ontario store growing: Shopify SEO for organic visibility and Shopify Plus development for enterprise brands. If you’re weighing the Plus upgrade, our guide to what a Shopify Plus agency does walks through the decision honestly before you spend a dollar.

Why Businesses Choose a Specialist
The Ontario web design market is crowded with generalist agencies. Many of them will happily take your Shopify project and learn the platform on your dime to deliver something adequate.
We think you deserve better than adequate. When your Shopify partner has 14+ years of platform experience, builds production apps, and has 150+ projects behind it, the difference shows up in every detail. Faster load times. Cleaner code. Better UX. Fewer issues post-launch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where in Ontario are you located?
We're based in Fergus, Ontario, in Wellington County between Guelph and Kitchener. We work remotely with clients across Ontario and beyond, and we're available for in-person meetings throughout southwestern Ontario and the GTA.
Do you only serve Ontario clients?
No. While we're based in Ontario and serve a lot of local businesses, we work with clients across Canada and internationally. Shopify is a global platform, and so is our client base.
What size of business do you work with?
Everything from solo founders launching their first store to established retailers doing millions in annual revenue. Our sweet spot is growing businesses that need more than a template install but don't need a 50-person agency.
How do I get started?
