The straight path in — no chatbot maze before you get a real answer.
Straight answers, before you even have to ask
Everything on this page comes straight from the actual terms already published on this site — nothing here is a simplified version, it's the real answer.

The Basics
Do I pay anything upfront?
Yes. Payment is due in full upfront, on one flat invoice, and work begins as soon as it clears. There are no trial periods and no partial deposits. See the full written Scope of Work for exact terms.
How much does it cost?
A resume-to-website conversion starts at $199. If your industry already has a blueprint, the DIY template is $29. Most flat-fee custom builds fall between $1,200 and $2,500. Larger corporate projects typically start at $3,000. You'll see the exact number before you're ever asked to pay it — no recurring monthly charge.
Who owns the source code after I pay?
The client does. Always.
Do you build on WordPress or something similar?
No — custom stack, hand-built HTML, not WordPress or a page-builder. That's also the reason the 100/100/100/100 PageSpeed standard is actually achievable.
Are there ongoing hosting or maintenance fees?
None whatsoever.
After Launch
What if I need changes after the site goes live?
Changes after launch are covered by the revision limits set out in the written Scope of Work.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
No. All sales are final. What replaces a guarantee is proof: every site ships at a verified 100/100/100/100 mobile PageSpeed score you can re-run yourself on PageSpeed Insights.
Can I get a refund after the site is delivered?
No. Because every site is delivered as verified, perfect-scoring infrastructure, all sales are final, as set out in the Operational Terms.
Is there a trial period or partial deposit option?
No. There are no trial periods and no half-deposits.
When does work begin?
As soon as the flat invoice clears in full. Turnaround is as fast as 24–72 hours, depending on workload.
Can the PageSpeed score drop after launch?
Yes, if new scripts, plugins, or embeds are added later. The 100/100/100/100 score is verified live at delivery, as the 100% Perfect PageSpeed Standard explains.
Location & Scope
Are you only San Jose-based?
Based there, yes — but working with clients worldwide.
Timeline, Support & Legitimacy
How long does it take?
A resume-to-website conversion is typically ready within a few business days. Blueprint-based builds usually take one to two weeks. Larger custom projects take longer, but you'll get a real date up front — never a placeholder timeline.
What happens to my perfect PageSpeed score once I add tracking tools like Google Analytics?
The code we write for you scores 100/100 on its own, and stays that way. Once you add third-party scripts after launch, that added weight becomes part of your load, and your live score will shift with it. We won't claim a permanent 100 once outside code is added — that wouldn't be honest.
You're a solo operator — what happens if I need support?
ZenMasterWorks is one operator, by design — no account handoffs, no ticket queue. You reach me directly. If that ever changes, this page and the public incident log will say so plainly, same as everything else here.
Is ZenMasterWorks a legitimate company, or a scam?
Legitimate, San Jose-based, operated by Ari Subana. Payment is flat-rate and upfront, a public incident log documents real bugs found and fixed, and every performance claim links to a live, independently re-runnable PageSpeed report rather than a static image.
The short version
- Payment is due in full upfront on one flat invoice; there are no trial periods or partial deposits.
- Pricing is fixed and disclosed before you pay: resume-to-website builds start at $199, DIY blueprint templates are $29, most custom builds run $1,200–$2,500, and larger corporate projects typically start at $3,000 — no recurring monthly charge.
- All sales are final; every site ships at a verified 100/100/100/100 mobile PageSpeed score you can re-run yourself.
- Everything is custom-built HTML, not WordPress or a page-builder — client owns the source code outright, and every performance claim links to a live, re-runnable PageSpeed report rather than a static image.
- Payment is collected upfront; the client owns the source code outright once paid, with no ongoing hosting or maintenance fees tied to ZenMasterWorks.
- All sales are final under the Operational Terms; there are no buyer's remorse periods or conditional refunds.
- ZenMasterWorks is based in San Jose, CA but works with clients worldwide, not limited to the local area.
- The 100/100/100/100 PageSpeed standard is measured before any tracking tools are added; adding Google Analytics or similar afterward can affect the score, addressed directly rather than glossed over.
- One solo operator by design — no account handoffs or ticket queue — with a public incident log as ongoing evidence the business is real and active.
Key takeaway: paid-upfront pricing, a verified 100/100/100/100 PageSpeed score, and full code ownership are the three commitments every other answer on this page traces back to.
