Josh Kohlbach (@jkohlbach) – WordPress user profile

Bio

Hey, I’m Josh. I run a company called Rymera Web Co and I’m proudly based in Brisbane, Australia.

We make tools that help store owners grow their stores. WooCommerce is our platform of choice and the tools we provide are designed to make the whole experience of being a store owner a lot better and more profitable.

I strongly believe that every store owner has something unique and interesting to bring the world and it’s my mission to give them the tools that let them do that. Every store starts small but every store also has the potential to grow into a big store. Rymera Web Co’s tools help level the playing field in e-commerce.

Our main products are:
– Wholesale Suite for WooCommerce
– Advanced Coupons for WooCommerce
– Loyalty Program for WooCommerce
– Advanced Gift Cards for WooCommerce

We really value our users and I personally appreciate the support from each and every one of you.

WordPress Origin Story

I started playing with WordPress over a decade ago on versions 1 and 2. Immediately I could see the potential of self-publishing on the web and the amazing tools that were being built by the WordPress community. As a programmer, I knew I had to throw myself into the mix as well and started making lots of small plugins to help my fellow WordPress-ers.

Over the years some of those took off, the first of which being ThirstyAffiliates which was later sold to Pretty Links and is still actively maintained today.

As my company grew we found our niche serving store owners using the WooCommerce platform. Now, we build and maintain a number of solutions such as the Wholesale Suite set of tools for adding wholesale sales to WooCommerce stores, Advanced Coupons for marketing your store better and various other useful growth-focused solutions.

I still love getting up and working on WordPress day-in and day-out. I can honestly say that this ecosystem has changed my life.
