# Website for freelancers in Spain: what you need as an autónomo

> A website for freelancers in Spain is one page, not a portfolio site: what goes on it, which language, the legal texts an autónomo needs, and when LinkedIn is enough.

Jonas is a UX designer from Hamburg who registered as an autónomo in Valencia in spring. His clients are in Germany and the Netherlands, his gestor is in Benimaclet, and his question to us was short: "Do I need a website for freelancers in Spain, or is my LinkedIn enough? And if I do, does it have to be in Spanish?" Both halves deserve a real answer, because the guides you find for that search are about registering as autónomo and say nothing about the page itself.

## First decide who the page is for

A freelancer in Spain usually has one of two audiences, and sometimes both. Clients abroad, who found you on LinkedIn or through a referral and want to check that you are a real business before they sign. Or local clients, Spanish businesses in Valencia or elsewhere, who typed something into Google or were given your name by someone.

The first group reads English and wants proof and a way to contact you. The second group reads Spanish and wants to know where you are, what you charge and whether you answer on WhatsApp. If you serve the first group only, one page in English is enough. If you want local work, Spanish is the main language and English is the second, which at Skyba Tech is the difference between Landing Express at 290 EUR and Landing Pro at 690 EUR with two languages.

## One page, five sections, no portfolio site

Freelancers tend to build too much. A six-page site with a blog you will never write and a portfolio you will never update looks abandoned within a year. One page does the job if it has five things.

What you do and for whom, in the first line, in plain words. "UX design for SaaS teams in Germany and Spain" beats "crafting digital experiences". Three pieces of work with one sentence each about the result, not the tools. How you work: remote or on site, your hours in Spanish time, how you quote and invoice. Something about price, even if it is "projects from" or a day rate, because it filters out the people who would never pay it. And one way to contact you that you actually check: for Spanish clients that is a WhatsApp button, for foreign clients an email link and a calendar if you use one.

## The legal texts, even for a one-person page

This is the part most freelancers skip and the one that can cost money. Any website run by a business in Spain, including a sole trader, must publish a legal notice (aviso legal) identifying the owner: your name, your NIE or NIF, an address and an email. If the page has a contact form, it collects personal data and needs a privacy policy. If you run analytics, it sets cookies and needs a cookie notice. These texts must be in Spanish; an English version is a courtesy. We include them in every landing page and only need your NIE and address to write them.

## Domain: .es, .com, or both

If your clients are mostly in Spain, .es signals that you are here and it is cheap. If they are abroad, .com is the neutral choice. Many freelancers register both and point them to the same page. What matters more than the ending is that the domain is registered in your name, with your email, and that you have the login. We have seen too many pages disappear because a friend "handled the domain" and then moved countries.

## When LinkedIn is enough

We will tell you this on WhatsApp before quoting. If every client you have ever had came through LinkedIn or referrals, and you are fully booked, a page will not change that; keep the profile sharp and spend the 290 EUR on something else. If you have not invoiced a single client yet, do not build a site, with us or anyone; get the first three projects first, then build around what they actually paid for. If your work is visual and lives on Behance or Dribbble, a page can wait until you need Spanish clients. And if what you really want is a shop for templates or courses, that is e-commerce and we do not build it.

## How to write the page yourself in an afternoon

Useful whether or not you hire us. Open a blank document and write the answer to four questions as if a client asked them in a message: what do you do, who is it for, what has it done for someone, how do we start. Keep each answer under four sentences. Pick three projects and write one line per project about what changed for the client. Decide your price line. Then take one photo of yourself in daylight, not a stock image. That document is the whole brief; the rest is layout.

## What we charge and how it goes

Landing Express is 290 EUR without IVA: one page of up to five sections, a form and a WhatsApp button with a prepared message, basic SEO, the legal texts with your NIE, domain and hosting set up in your name, live in seven days once we have your texts. Landing Pro is 690 EUR for a longer page in two languages with analytics configured and proper previews when the link is shared. You pay a third to a half upfront and the rest after launch. We build on Next.js, not WordPress, so there is nothing to update monthly, and you receive the code.

Jonas got an English page with a Spanish version switched on later, when the first Valencian agency asked for a quote. That order, English first and Spanish when the local work appears, is the one we suggest to most freelancers who arrive here with foreign clients.

Not sure whether you need a page at all? Ten minutes on WhatsApp, a fixed price before any work, and an honest answer if the answer is "not yet".
