Freelance Website Designer & Developer in Santiago

Freelance website designer and developer for Santiago, Chile: custom, fast business websites. Planned for Chile's new data law and local payments.

Overview

Custom business websites designed and coded by a senior freelancer — responsive UI, a CMS your team can edit, technical SEO and Core Web Vitals built in from day one. Projects for Santiago run remotely with a fixed daily call window — 08:00–11:00 your time (17:30–20:30 IST). Scope, milestones and ownership are agreed in writing before work starts.

Chile-specific requirements to plan for

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

  • Law 19,628 — being replaced by Law 21,719 (in force from December 2026): The new law creates a data-protection agency and GDPR-style duties, so new builds should plan for it now.
  • Electronic invoices and receipts (boleta electrónica) are issued through the SII.
  • Interface and content languages: Spanish.

Working hours: India ↔ Santiago

Santiago is on UTC−4 / UTC−3 (seasonal). IST is 8 h 30 min – 9 h 30 min ahead. That leaves roughly 0.5 hours of overlap with a 9-to-6 working day. A daily call at 08:00–11:00 your time (17:30–20:30 IST) works year-round. Between calls you get written updates and a staging link that shows the latest build.

Decisions to make before work starts

Agree page templates, editor roles, responsive layouts and integrations. A migration also needs a URL inventory and redirect plan for pages that move.

  • High-performance front-end code with modern frameworks
  • Content management system (CMS) integration and editor training
  • Third-party API, CRM, and analytics integrations

  • A site your team can update without a developer
  • Fast mobile performance (Core Web Vitals)
  • Clear calls-to-action wired to your forms, WhatsApp and analytics

The build is planned around Law 19,628 and the incoming Law 21,719 (in force from December 2026): consent capture on forms, a clear privacy notice, data minimisation and suitable hosting. The new law creates a data-protection agency and GDPR-style duties, so new builds should plan for it now. Final legal wording should be checked by your legal adviser.
