English-speaking freelance web developer in Barcelona
I'm Adrian, a freelance web developer based in Barcelona with 10+ years of experience. I build SaaS applications with Ruby on Rails, custom PrestaShop stores and WordPress sites that actually convert. If you run an international company or an expat business in Barcelona: fluent English, in-person meetings, and a compliant Spanish invoice — with EU VAT reverse charge when it applies.
Why hire a local freelancer in Barcelona
What offshore agencies and anonymous marketplaces can't give you.
EU-compliant Spanish invoice
Registered freelancer in Spain (NIF 45880470R). Electronic invoice with Spanish VAT — or without VAT via intra-community reverse charge if your EU company has a valid VAT number. Your accountant will thank you.
English communication, no friction
Briefs, proposals, documentation and meetings in fluent English. I work daily in English as Tech Lead at a US multinational — nothing gets lost in translation.
Your timezone (CET)
No 6-hour offset, no overnight ticket queues. I work Barcelona hours, answer during your working day, and can jump on a call when something is urgent.
In-person meetings in Barcelona
Kick-off over coffee in Barcelona city or at my office in the Torre Millenium building (Av. Francesc Macia 60, Sabadell). A real person you can actually meet.
Local market knowledge
Selling to Spanish customers? I know Redsys, Spanish carriers (SEUR, GLS, MRW), local accounting tools (Holded, Quipu) and Spanish consumer law quirks — plus Stripe for everything international.
10+ years doing this
Tech Lead at Cendyn (multinational) in the mornings, freelance on my own and client projects the rest of the time. Neither fresh out of a bootcamp nor coasting into retirement.
Services
SaaS development
Ruby on Rails MVPs ready to scale. Auth, Stripe billing, multi-tenant, admin panel. From idea to product in 6-10 weeks.
PrestaShop stores
Custom e-commerce with bespoke modules, ERP integrations and Spanish payment gateways. Stores that actually sell.

Fast corporate websites, monthly maintenance and migrations without losing SEO. Live in 2-4 weeks.

Three clients, three stacks, three markets.
How I quote projects
Every project is quoted by scope: pages, features, integrations and deadlines. No inflated agency rates, no mid-project surprises.
After a 30-minute call you receive a fixed written quote within 24 hours, with deliverables and a timeline. What you sign is what you pay.
I take on a limited number of projects per year. I'm looking for clients who want a long-term technical partner, not the cheapest bid on the market.

Do you meet clients in person in Barcelona?
Yes. My office is in Sabadell (Torre Millenium building, Av. Francesc Macia 60), 25 minutes from Barcelona, and I regularly take meetings in Barcelona city and the metro area. Most of the work happens remotely, but kick-offs and key milestones can be face to face whenever you prefer.
Do you invoice EU companies without Spanish VAT?
Yes. I am a registered freelancer (autonomo) in Spain with NIF 45880470R. Spanish clients get an electronic invoice with 21% Spanish VAT. EU companies with a valid intra-community VAT number get an invoice without VAT under the reverse charge mechanism, fully compliant for your accounting.
How much does a custom website cost in Barcelona?
It depends on scope: number of pages, features, integrations and deadlines. That is why I do not publish flat rates — every project is quoted individually. After a 30-minute call you get a fixed written quote within 24 hours, including deliverables and a timeline.
What technologies do you work with?
Ruby on Rails for SaaS and custom web applications, PrestaShop for serious e-commerce, WordPress for corporate websites and content portals. Stripe for payments, PostgreSQL as the main database, TailwindCSS for design.
How long does a project take?
Corporate WordPress site: 2-4 weeks. Full PrestaShop store: 6-10 weeks. SaaS MVP: 6-10 weeks. The deadline is fixed in the quote before we start — no surprises.
Do you offer maintenance after launch?
Yes. WordPress maintenance plans with updates, backups, monitoring and support, plus monthly retainers for SaaS and PrestaShop with a bank of hours for fixes and features. The plan is sized to your site in the same proposal.
Who do you typically work with?
Mainly startups (SaaS), international companies and expat-run businesses based in Barcelona, and SMEs looking for a stable technical partner in Spain. I take on a limited number of projects per year: I prefer a few well-served clients over many half-served ones. I am not a fit if you are only hunting for the lowest price.
What languages do you work in?
Fluent English — I work daily in English as Tech Lead at a US multinational — plus native Spanish and Catalan. Contracts, documentation, meetings and support in whichever language your team prefers.
