What is Zipkon
Zipkon is all about innovation in solving real problems. Our solutions are geared to be simple and straight-foward. Our programs are not complicated to use and we hope they never will be.
History
Zipkon started in 2008 as a "Technical Consumer Consulting Company." In human terms it means we recommended computer related devices to clients based on their needs and preferences. Well, due to lack of time on the founders part, the project was shut down. In early 2010 Zipkon came back as a web development business that developed websites for varies local companies and organization. That side of the business was quite successful and is still operating on a limited basis. In 2010 the idea of a job search tool come up and was put on the whiteboard for future development. In early 2011 development on the project began and was completed later than year. At this point we realized we were not just a website business but instead were really interested in creating new software solutions for the web. And thus Zipkon Research & Development was released as an official title in 2011.
The Name
The name Zipkon is nonsensical; it doesn't have a definition. It was created as a result of a name contest for this very project back in 2009. Anna, a friend of the founders, suggested combining the words "Zippy" and "Consulting" into something along the lines of "Zipkon." It stuck and has been called Zipkon ever since.
The Logo
We used to have a logo and it was decided that we just strip everything down to just text. This very website contains absolutely no images to make it simple, fast, and sleek. This seems to embody the idea behind Zipkon.
