Years of in-store BBQ retail, no ecommerce. We catalogued premium grills and outdoor kitchen equipment, structured the site so customers find the right one without digging, and targeted the keywords and local searches their customers actually use.

B2B & Wholesale on Shopify
Online ordering for wholesale accounts: tiered pricing, company profiles, and portals your sales reps can hand straight to customers.
Shopify App Development
Built on Gadget.dev for manufacturers and distributors whose workflows never quite match what a theme expects.
Platform Migrations
Legacy carts, messy product data, years of order history. We've moved all of it onto Shopify with redirects that hold.
Custom Store Design & Development
DTC storefronts for Brampton product companies stepping out from behind their distributors.
Shopify Plus Development
Customized checkout, expansion stores, and wholesale channels running alongside retail.
Shopify SEO
Organic visibility built on a technically clean store. Structure and speed first, then content that earns category rankings.
Speed & Performance
Fast stores sell more. We test against Google's performance thresholds before launch, not after complaints.
Email Flows & Automation
Klaviyo sequences that pay for themselves: cart recovery, win-backs, and repeat-purchase prompts.
A Shopify Specialist for Brampton’s Business Community
Brampton is one of the fastest-growing cities in Canada, with an economy built on manufacturing and distribution, plus a deep community of entrepreneurs launching brands of every kind. A lot of that activity is moving online, and the businesses winning are the ones with stores that load fast, convert well, and handle the B2B and wholesale realities many Brampton companies live with.
We’re Victoria Garland Creative Inc., a Shopify-focused agency based in nearby Fergus. We design and build Shopify stores for brands across Brampton and the GTA, then help them grow. Our team has built exclusively on Shopify since 2012.
Why Brampton Brands Choose a Specialist
Close, without the overhead. We’re about an hour from Brampton. Near enough to meet when it helps, based outside the GTA so our rates stay competitive without cutting corners.
Shopify only, since 2012. We don’t build WordPress or Squarespace. When a project needs functionality a theme can’t provide, we build a proper custom Shopify app on Gadget.dev instead of stitching together workarounds.
The people you meet are the people who build. No coordinators relaying messages. Questions go straight to the developer who wrote the code, and answers come back the same day.
Built for Manufacturers, Distributors, and DTC Brands
Brampton’s mix of manufacturing and entrepreneurship maps closely to what we do. Businesses moving into DTC or B2B often carry legacy data and catalog requirements that off-the-shelf builds can’t handle. We take on platform migrations, Shopify SEO to grow organic traffic, and Shopify Plus builds for brands that need company accounts, custom checkout, or wholesale alongside retail. When the dealer portal is the whole project, with contract pricing and an ERP behind it, see B2B ecommerce for manufacturers.
Replacing Phone-and-Email Ordering
A lot of Brampton wholesale still runs on phone calls, emailed purchase orders, and a spreadsheet somebody guards with their life. Shopify’s B2B tooling can take that over. Account-specific price lists, repeat ordering, payment terms, and a portal your reps hand to customers instead of taking dictation. The reps keep the relationships. The orders stop living in inboxes. And where your ERP or accounting system needs to stay in the loop, we build the integration rather than asking your team to key the same order in twice. None of it requires abandoning how you sell today, either. The portal runs alongside your existing process, and accounts move over as they’re ready.
Messy Data Is Normal Here
Manufacturers and distributors rarely have clean product data. Units of measure that differ by customer. SKUs that changed three systems ago. Spec sheets living in PDFs. We’ve migrated catalogs like this before, and the cleanup is part of the project plan rather than an unwelcome surprise halfway through. By the time the store launches, the catalog is usually in better shape than it has ever been.
What an Engagement Looks Like
It starts with a free discovery call where we scope honestly: theme customization for some projects, fully custom builds for others, integrations where the operation demands them. From there you get a fixed plan, direct communication with the people doing the work, and support after launch from the same team. Timelines are part of that plan too. Theme projects land in weeks, custom builds and integrations in months, with dates you can hold us to. If you’d rather bring on development help than commission a full project, our hire a Shopify developer page explains how that works.
Brampton sits in the middle of the territory we cover. We also work with brands in Mississauga, Vaughan, and Toronto, and the rest of Ontario. Our portfolio includes recent builds and the three apps we’ve shipped to the Shopify App Store. When you’re ready, book a free discovery call.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are you based in Brampton?
We work from Fergus, Ontario, about an hour away. Kickoffs and reviews run over video. We're near enough to meet in person when a project calls for it, and far enough from GTA office rents that the savings show up in our quotes.
Do you work with Brampton's manufacturers and wholesalers?
Yes, and it's a good fit. Brampton has a deep base of manufacturing, distribution, and logistics businesses, many of them adding a direct-to-consumer or B2B online channel. Those projects often carry messy legacy data and wholesale requirements that generic agencies struggle with, which is exactly the work we do.
Why hire a Shopify specialist instead of a Brampton generalist?
Because depth beats breadth on a platform this large. We've built only on Shopify since 2012 and have ex-Shopify engineers on the team. That shows up as faster builds, cleaner code, and the ability to ship custom apps a theme-only shop can't deliver.
How much should we budget?
Theme customization generally runs $3,000 to $8,000 and fully custom builds run $10,000 to $30,000. Integrations and B2B requirements push toward the higher end. Scope gets settled honestly on a free discovery call before any money moves.
Our wholesale customers order by phone and email. Can a Shopify store replace that?
That's exactly the kind of project we like. A B2B portal with account-specific pricing lets customers place and repeat orders themselves, your reps keep the relationships, and the orders stop living in someone's inbox. Most customers prefer it once they've used it twice.
