Freelance Website Designer & Developer in Switzerland

Freelance website designer and developer for Switzerland: custom, fast business websites. Planned for the Swiss FADP, 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 Switzerland 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.

Switzerland-specific requirements to plan for

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

Revised Federal Act on Data Protection (revFADP / nDSG): In force since 1 September 2023 — privacy notices must list recipients and countries data goes to.
Multilingual sites (DE/FR/IT) are expected for national reach.
Interface and content languages: German, French, Italian and English.

This is practical delivery guidance, not legal advice.

Working hours: India ↔ Switzerland

Switzerland 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.
