RicheyWeb Software Development

Software That Speaks for Itself

I’ve never been a fan of marketing. As W.C. Fields (maybe) said, “If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit,” sums up everything I dislike about it. If I have to spin a story or pile on the hype to sell you something, then maybe you don’t need it in the first place. I let the RicheyWeb software do the talking, and it has a lot to tell you.

My approach is simple: I create free, high-quality software for Joomla—tools I’ve poured my expertise into, available for anyone to download and use. No strings, no gimmicks. These extensions aren’t just freebies; they’re my business card, my resume, and a live demo of what I can do. If you like what you see, you’ll know exactly what you’re getting when you hire me for custom development.

I’m not here to baffle you with buzzwords or overblown promises. My software is out there for you to try, test, and kick the tires on. If it solves your problem, great—that’s the point. If it doesn’t, you move on, no hard feelings. But if you need something tailored, something built to fit your exact needs, my code is proof I can deliver.

In a world full of marketing noise, I’d rather dazzle you with free solutions that solve problems than waste your time with fluff. Download my Joomla extensions, see the quality for yourself, and let’s talk when you’re ready for something custom. That’s the RicheyWeb software pitch—short, sweet, and bullshit-free.

Custom CSS and JavaScript

Extension Page: Fields - XMLForm

We've all been there. You're writing an article, and there's some super-whammo-dyne CSS or JS you want to add to the article, but TinyMCE ain't having it (I live in Texas, where that's proper English). So you jump through a billion hoops to install another plugin to let you do something that seems like it should be trivial like add a JS or CSS to a particular article. You don't need it for the whole site, just that one page - but making that happen is like pulling teeth!

Progress Indicator for Top of the Page

Extension Page: System - Top of the Page

Want a sleek 'Back to Top' button that doubles as a scroll progress indicator? In this guide, I’ll show you how to style and enhance the System - Top of the Page plugin with just a few lines of CSS and JavaScript. It’s simpler than you think—and way lighter than those bloated 100-line tutorials out there.

Tracking Bots Like a Pro with GA and HashCash

Tracking Spam Bots Like a Pro with GA and HashCash

Forget bots vanishing after a failed attack. With Captcha - HashCash’s latest feature, every stumble turns into a clue you can track and outsmart. This isn’t just a CAPTCHA—it’s a bot-hunting machine that transforms your Joomla forms into a security goldmine. Imagine knowing who’s attacking, how they’re doing it, and where they’re hitting—all without bothering your users. That’s Detection Profiling, and it’s your key to staying ahead.

Where is the ASIN or ISBN?

Extension Page: Content - Amazon Product Advertising API

If you're using the RicheyWeb Content - Amazon Product Advertising API plugin, you'll know that it REQUIRES one key piece of information to be present in EVERY tag. That information defines which product you want to display and can be either the ASIN (Amazon Standard Identification Number) or the ISBN (mainly used for books/print publications).
