Freelance WordPress Developer in Brazil

Freelance WordPress developer for Brazil: fast, secure WordPress sites and fixes. Planned for the LGPD, local payments and your time zone.

Overview

WordPress builds, redesigns and speed or security fixes — custom themes or block-based designs, WooCommerce, and clean plugin stacks that stay maintainable. Projects for Brazil run remotely, with a daily call window agreed for your city's time zone. Scope, milestones and ownership are agreed in writing before work starts.

Brazil-specific requirements to plan for

Projects for businesses in Brazil have to work for local customers and local rules. These points are planned from the first milestone:

LGPD (Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados, Law 13,709/2018): The ANPD enforces the LGPD — you need a legal basis for each use of customer data and a named data officer (encarregado).
Shoppers expect Pix, boleto and card instalments (parcelamento) at checkout.
Payment methods customers in Brazil expect: Pix, Boleto, Mercado Pago, PagBank (PagSeguro), Stripe and card instalments.

This is practical delivery guidance, not legal advice.

How long does a WordPress project take?

The service catalog lists a typical range of 10 - 25 days; the real plan depends on scope, integrations and content readiness.
