Professional Web Design in Barcelona

I'm based in Barcelona but work with clients across Spain and the rest of Europe. All meetings happen by video call, so physical location doesn't affect the project. Practical difference for local clients: I can do the initial meeting in person if you prefer; for everyone else, the process is 100% remote and works just as well.

No. Prices shown are pre-VAT. As a registered freelancer in Spain, I add 21% VAT on the invoice. If your business is also VAT-registered (autónomo or company), that VAT is deductible on your quarterly Modelo 303 declaration.

If you sell to clients in other EU countries with a valid intra-community VAT number (B2B), the invoice can be issued without VAT with a reverse-charge clause. If your business is VAT-exempt (some healthcare, regulated training), the VAT is a final cost.

Yes. You receive clear documentation on how the site is built, where it's hosted, and how to edit it. If you want to edit content without touching code, we integrate a CMS (included by default in the Professional Package, optional add-on for Starter). For occasional technical changes, I offer monthly maintenance or hourly work.

The recommended CMS for standard sites is Sanity or Payload, both with good UX and a free tier up to a meaningful volume. If your team prefers something more familiar, I also configure WordPress as a headless CMS connected to the Next.js frontend. The choice depends on who's editing and how often.

You register the domain (I advise free of charge on where and how). Recommended hosting is Vercel for standard sites: free up to 100 GB/month of traffic (enough for over 95% of SME sites), very fast, and includes a global CDN. If you prefer another provider, we can adapt.

For domain registration, I recommend Cloudflare Registrar (at-cost pricing, no upsells) or Namecheap if you prefer a simpler interface. Avoid IONOS and GoDaddy: cheap first year, expensive renewals, aggressive sales practices. If you need EU-based hosting for compliance reasons, we use Hetzner or OVH instead of Vercel.

For the Starter Package, the typical timeline is 2-3 weeks from briefing to launch. For Professional, 3-4 weeks. Assumes content (copy, images, contact details) is ready when needed. If content is delayed, the timeline extends proportionally and I'll flag it before launch.

The usual bottleneck isn't development, it's content. I recommend working on copy in parallel during the first design week: final text for 5 pages typically takes the client about 10 hours of work. If you need professional copywriting, I offer it as an add-on (€300 on Starter, €500 on Professional).

Each package includes 1-2 rounds of revisions during development (1 in Starter, 2 in Professional). After launch, minor changes are billed hourly, or you can take the update retainer (€150/month) or monthly maintenance (€120/month) for ongoing evolution.

The retainer is for sites that evolve: new pages, SEO tweaks, copy optimization. Maintenance keeps the site healthy: dependency updates, uptime monitoring, backups, security patches. You can have both or just one. For sites without frequent changes, hourly work is cheaper — you pay only when there's work to do.

Not in Starter or Professional. Those packages are for informational sites (presentation, services, contact). If you need e-commerce, a booking system, a client portal, or any custom functionality, the Custom package covers it with a quote scoped to the work.

For e-commerce specifically, see the dedicated Online Store service (covers Stripe, Bizum, VAT, integration with Correos/MRW/SEUR, and admin panel). For booking systems (medical practice, fitness, photography, workshops), the typical timeline adds 4-6 weeks on top of a standard site.

Yes, but the second language is an add-on (not included by default). Cost depends on the package: €250 on top of Starter, €400 on top of Professional. Includes professional translation, proper hreflang, and locale-separated URLs — exactly what Google needs to show the right version to each user.

If you already have professional translation (human, not Google Translate), the cost drops: I only charge for the technical integration. For additional languages beyond Spanish/English (Catalan, French, German), it's quoted case by case. Note: sites in languages you don't control with native quality can hurt your SEO — Google penalizes mediocre machine translation.
