We build it in-house—
and run it in the real world.
Richards Technologies is a family-run technology company in Southwest Missouri. We design and operate our own software, security tooling, and digital products — the same discipline we bring to work for local businesses.
What we do
Four lines, one workshop
Everything below is designed, coded, and operated by us — not resold. That's the point of building it ourselves: we understand it end to end.
Holdwatch, Hearthward & Leasewell
On-prem security tooling — endpoint ransomware detection, file-integrity monitoring, and signed audit trails — plus property-management software built to the same standard.
Hardframe Sites
Secure, no-lock-in website kits for local trades, plus original printable design packs — templates you can edit and host anywhere, and original art to print at home, in class and for gifts.
Tools people actually use
Practical software for real work and real learning — a workshop app for woodworkers and an accessibility-first adaptive learning platform.
Local IT & automation
Practical technology help for Southwest Missouri businesses: security hardening, backups, and custom automation — the same tools we run ourselves.
Proof, not promises
What we've built — and what's next
We'd rather show than tell. Our storefront is live today; the rest are in active development and tested as we go. Every status label is honest — no vaporware. Tap a product to see how it works and where it's at.
Hardframe Sites
A live storefront with 120+ original digital products — secure website kits for local trades plus printable design packs — with real checkout and instant delivery.

A small shop that ships
Richards Technologies of South West Missouri LLC is family-owned and operated. We take on a mix of software, security, and app work because it all draws on the same craft — and we hold our own products to the standard we'd want as a customer.
Our own sites load nothing from other companies: our fonts are hosted on our own sites, never pulled from a font service, and there are no outside scripts or trackers. Every site ships with strict security headers. We practice what we sell.
Our security tools are built security-first and self-tested, and they're in active development. We won't call something "secure" or sell it until it's had independent review — no overclaiming, ever.
No page-builder lock-in, no surprise monthly fees. What we build for you runs anywhere you host it.
A real Missouri LLC with a real person behind it. When you call or email, you reach us.
