Yes, our legal name really is
Some No-Name Company.  “Sononaco” for short.

We are a full-service web application design, development and hosting company based in Washington, DC.  We build, support, host and manage custom-built web applications, e-mail and everything in between.

Our work is dedicated to supporting organizations and initiatives that help make a positive impact on society.  Our innovative web solutions have helped non-profit organizations, socially conscious companies and political campaigns.

Web sites have evolved beyond static HTML and are becoming increasingly reliant on data-driven content and external resources. To address this change we actively embrace and develop data-driven web applications that address the specific needs of our clients.

Our development method utilizes open source frameworks and has been crafted to allow open access to source code in a distributed version control system in our dedicated development environment. Our application structure separates the application code, data and public content. This approach makes the application secure, the architecture intuitive, the look easy to change, the code easy to modify and the data easy to work with or move entirely to another system.

Over fifteen years developing web sites and applications has earned us praise among our peers and accolades from customers. It has been our pleasure to put powerful technologies into the hands of those where it would otherwise be out of reach. Our solutions that deliver measurable results.

  • Keith Hall

    Guy in the Photo

    Keith rocking on the keyboards

    From his days spending several hours copying hundreds of lines of code from a magazine just to make a jagged green blob bounce around a screen to running up phone bills on Bulletin Board Systems in the 80's and 90's, Keith has seen the internet come a long way.

    A former DJ and airborne traffic reporter in a previous life (the 90's) Keith's passion now involves lots of pointing and clicking – and he doesn't have to play "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" or "Unchained Melody."

    When not in the virtual world Keith, his wife and two pugs are ardent supporters of the Carolina Panthers and founder of the DC Panthers Fans. They also enjoy all that the Washington area has to offer, brewing beer and tearing through the Arlington bike trails.

  • Leigh Dixon

    Decision Maker

    Leigh getting it done old-school

    Part traffic cop, part accountant Leigh makes sure everything runs smoothly.

    Since joining Sononaco Leigh's role has expanded from bookkeeper to project manager.  She is now the glue that binds together the projects, the billing and the staff.

    Prior to entering technology, Leigh cast sanity aside while working with her brother's high rise window cleaning business.  With over 10 years experience working with small businesses Leigh now offers her expertise in accounting, human resources, sales & marketing and IT support.

    Outside the walls of Sononaco Leigh provides voluntary massage therapy for Hospice patients and spends time with her cat, Divot, her rescued pup Cope and her awesome, handsome new boyfriend.

  • Josh Bowes

    Code Talker

    Hard Day's Josh

    This is the guy that makes the wheels turn, the videos play and the progress bar fill up.

    From slicing and coding designs to engineering database-driven web applications, Josh likes to get his hands on all aspects of web development.  With a breadth of professional IT experience, Josh helps our clients in all aspects of development and implementation.

    Unable to contain the talent sparking from his fingertips when not cracking code, Josh plays bass guitar with his band The Mangles.

    A North Carolina native and 2006 graduate of the NCSU School of Engineering Josh also enjoys hiking and mountain biking.

  • Sumi Fleming

    Efficient and Talented

    A rare moment where Sumi is not in motion.

    What do football, Facebook and piano have in common?  Sumi.

    Among her other interests she manages to fit in obsessions with reading, "Food, Glorious Food" and leaping out of perfectly functional airplanes.

    When not making the music she is the #1 groupie and social networker for her boyfriend's cover band "Wrath of Borgnine," which among other things makes him the happiest man in the world.

    A Navy brat with Boston roots (Go Red Sox and Patriots!) Sumi is a student of life -- maybe even for life.  As you read this she is re-donning her shell to head back to the University of Maryland to pursue a degree in engineering.

  • Franky Chung

    Creative Spark

    Franky better not wear that tie to the office

    Franky is the creative genius behind the designs for Sononaco. It takes true talent to create simple and intuitive interfaces for such complex web applications.

    Frank's geekiness started bubbling in middle school where he began building web sites. After college he did a short stint in the corporate suit & tie world before turning falling into his hobby full time. When you do what you love you never have to work a day in your life!

    Frank is a recent graduate from the University of Virginia. Away from the mouse and keyboard, Frank enjoys playing the guitar and reading about Buddhist philosophies.
