Freelance WordPress Developer in Barcelona

Freelance WordPress developer for Barcelona, Spain: fast, secure WordPress sites and fixes. Planned for GDPR, 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 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 WordPress 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

Identify content types, editor roles, forms and commerce functions to retain. Compare supported theme configuration with custom blocks or plugins. Record third-party license and renewal responsibilities.
