Shopify Is All We Do
Victoria Garland Creative Inc. is a Shopify-focused agency based in Fergus, Ontario. Design. Development. Growth. We’ve been building exclusively on the Shopify platform for over 12 years, making us one of the most experienced Shopify-focused agencies in the province.
We don’t build WordPress sites. We don’t do Squarespace. We don’t offer “full-service digital” across 15 different platforms. We build on Shopify. That’s it. After 12+ years on the platform with 150+ projects shipped and a portfolio of published apps, we know Shopify better than most.
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 targets sub-3-second load times and 90+ PageSpeed scores. Performance isn’t an afterthought. It’s a baseline.
- 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.
Serving All of Ontario
We work with businesses in:
- Kitchener-Waterloo Shopify development for KW businesses
- Waterloo Custom Shopify stores for Waterloo brands
- Toronto & the GTA Shopify development for Toronto businesses
- Guelph, Cambridge, Hamilton, London, Ottawa and everywhere in between
Whether you’re a local retailer going online for the first time or a DTC brand scaling nationally, we build Shopify stores that match your ambition.
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 12+ years of platform experience, builds production apps, delivers 150+ projects without learning curve, 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?
Send us a message through our contact page. Tell us about your business, what you need, and your timeline. We'll schedule a free discovery call to discuss your project and give you an honest assessment of what it'll take.
