Freelance Website Designer & Developer in Barcelona

Freelance website designer and developer for Barcelona, Spain: custom, fast business websites. Planned for GDPR, local payments and your time zone.

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 Barcelona run remotely, with about 5.5 hours of overlap with a 9-to-6 working day. Scope, milestones and ownership are agreed in writing before work starts.

Spain-specific requirements to plan for

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

  • GDPR and the LOPDGDD (Organic Law 3/2018): The LSSI requires a legal notice (aviso legal) and consent for non-essential cookies.
  • Catalan versions help for Barcelona-focused brands.
  • The European Accessibility Act applies to many e-commerce and digital services from 28 June 2025 (WCAG 2.1 AA is the practical baseline).
  • The full list for Spain is on the Website Designer & Developer in Spain page.

Working hours: India ↔ Barcelona

Barcelona is on UTC+1 / UTC+2 (seasonal). IST is 3 h 30 min – 4 h 30 min ahead. That leaves roughly 5.5 hours of overlap with a 9-to-6 working day. A daily call at 08:00–11:00 your time (12:30–15:30 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.

Deliverables to agree in your scope

  • Custom UI/UX responsive design mockups and design system
  • High-performance front-end code with modern frameworks
  • Content management system (CMS) integration and editor training
  • Third-party API, CRM, and analytics integrations
  • Technical SEO baseline and Core Web Vitals optimization
  • 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

Will the project follow GDPR in Spain?

The build is planned around the GDPR and the LOPDGDD (Organic Law 3/2018): consent capture on forms, a clear privacy notice, data minimisation and suitable hosting.
