Show HN: My Newest Design: ZigZagLab

I just finished working on my latest work, zigzaglab.com.

It's fluid-responsive and retina-ready. Everything has been achieved using only CSS3 (except for typekit and google map loaders).

I like the typography. The fade effect needs to go. The color scheme on the maps page, while neat, doesn't make much sense to me in the context of the rest of the site.

Great effort! Not meaning to hijack your Show HN submission, I would be very interested to read about your back story of doing a startup in Iran.

Looks good. One note: a tiny English glitch that stood out to me was that you say to contact you "in" Twitter and Facebook. Generally people say "on". If anyone knows why that's the convention, I'm interested.

Looks great, congratulations! It would be even better if you had an attention-grabbing picture on your index page, instead of just black text on a gray background.

Thanks. I tried many color schemes on the map page, I couldn't find what I wanted. Google's color wizard didn't help much.

Thank you :) Well I have that huge Cinema Display with a picture in it. But you need to scroll a little.

Thank you:) Many people are doing startups in Iran, and it's not a new thing. Iran is a developing country but there is a good market for technology-related startups inside the country. Unfortunately, there aren't many investors so we have to invest our own.
