Meet the Owner

Ripple Effect Online is owned and operated by Nath J, based in Jubilee Pocket, Whitsundays, Queensland. Ripple Effect Online specialises in web design and digital marketing, alongside Avatarwhitsundays.com.au — a travel site built to bring the Whitsundays’ most popular backpacker sailing tour direct to travellers at locally discounted prices.

Nath’s Story

Nath moved to the Whitsundays in 2002 and has built an extensive portfolio across the region’s travel and boating industry. Starting as a provisions officer for a fleet of nine vessels, by 2004 he had moved up to operations manager. In 2006, Nath invested in a travel agency on the main street of Airlie Beach and successfully grew it into a leading travel and internet store. The business was sold in 2010, and Nath took the leap into Whitsundays marketing as Sales and Marketing Manager at Ozsail, where he helped turn sailing vessels Avatar, Mandrake, and Spank Me into icons of the Whitsundays sailing industry, keeping them booked out and running full.

How Ripple Effect Online Started

Ripple Effect Online was born in 2015 when Nath combined his hobby of web design with years of hands-on experience in travel marketing. What started as a side project quickly grew into a full service business. Ripple Effect Online operates from a home office in Sugarloaf and runs as a mobile business, the chat app on this website pings directly to Nath’s iPhone, so whether he’s designing, travelling, or out and about in the Whitsundays, he’s always just a message away.

Looking Ahead

With a genuine love for travel, web design, and graphic design, Nath is focused on expanding Ripple Effect Online’s presence across the Whitsundays, continuing to give both local businesses and travellers the benefit of his experience in quality web design, smart local marketing, and insider travel deals, all from someone who calls this region home.
