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.
Looking for something more specific — a platform, a blueprint, AEO? See every question answered anywhere on the site, in one searchable index.
The Basics
Do I pay anything upfront?
No. ZenMasterWorks builds your complete website first, live and working. You review it, request any agreed revisions, and pay only after you're satisfied. No deposit, ever. 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, it's $100 flat. 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?
Free support for 90 days post-launch — that includes actual changes, not just bug fixes.
What exactly does the 90-Day Guarantee cover?
Your entire purchase. Not partial, not prorated.
How do I request a refund, and do I need a reason?
Email ari@zenmasterworks.com — no reason needed.
Are there exclusions to the guarantee?
No.
How fast is a refund processed?
Same day.
Is the guarantee really unconditional?
Yes — full satisfaction, no regrets, no fine print. Read the full terms for the complete picture.
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. No upfront payment required, 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
- No upfront payment, ever — ZenMasterWorks builds the complete website first, live and working, and you only pay after you're satisfied.
- Pricing is fixed and disclosed before you pay: resume-to-website builds start at $199, blueprint-based industry builds are $100 flat, most custom builds run $1,200–$2,500, and larger corporate projects typically start at $3,000 — no recurring monthly charge.
- The 90-Day Guarantee covers the entire purchase, no exclusions, no reason required, refunds processed same day.
- 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.
- No payment is collected upfront; the client owns the source code outright once paid, with no ongoing hosting or maintenance fees tied to ZenMasterWorks.
- Every build is backed by a 90-Day Buyer's Remorse Guarantee — genuinely unconditional, no reason required for a refund, processed quickly.
- 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: pay-after-delivery, unconditional 90-day guarantee, and full code ownership are the three commitments every other answer on this page traces back to.
