Build your career as a Web Designer
Projects where the site is the engagement: the SMB with no page, the brand on a generic template and the site that does not convert. Shakers connects you with teams holding the brand and needing the site that shows and sells it.
Spanish web design lives between the permanent seat and the generalist marketplace; the role page for the by-project engagement barely existed. Here the site arrives with the brand ready and the scope defined.
This is not a training route: it is what gets built on a real engagement, what you must prove and where your signature stays.
- Higher-paying projects
- More continuity between projects
- Greater recognition for your experience

Amelia
AI Agent Developer
“I have been building AI agents for years. Thanks to Shakers I stopped chasing clients and started genuinely choosing which projects I wanted to work on. I work with some of the best companies in Europe, at my own rate, and I focus on what I am good at and what I love: building.”

Luz
Backend Developer & Data Engineer
“Shakers adds a lot of value because it connects you with sharper projects, already filtered and better defined. It saves you a big part of the upfront work of understanding the client, quoting and weighing up whether it is worth it, and that means that as a contractor you can go far more directly to the opportunities that genuinely fit you.”

Rubén
Software Developer
“Life as a contractor has a lot going on and it is not always easy. We like to focus on what we are good at, but you also have to manage clients, invoicing and go looking for work. For me, Shakers has been key because it does that prospecting for me, it gives the client confidence from the very first moment, and it lets us be part of a community with real enthusiasm.”

AI Developer
“Shakers was key to getting my company off the ground: it gave me the flexibility to keep contracting while I built my next chapter. Without Shakers, I would have had to raise funding or push the project back.”

Toño
Product Designer
“With Shakers I have landed recurring projects that give me peace of mind and room to grow professionally. It is not just about reaching quality clients: it is feeling that you have a network behind you, one that connects you with real opportunities and helps you move forward as a freelancer.”
Join ShakersWhat a Web Designer designs and builds every week
A Web Designer designs and builds sites that sell per engagement: corporate pages, landings and WordPress with responsive layout, applied identity and conversion. With no fixed payroll, from wireframe to published site.
Their boundary: you build with page builders and CMS; custom functionality belongs to the developer. Your buyer is the SMB that needs the site, not the engineering team.
You apply the brand to components and templates, lay out responsive without breaking it and leave the site editable: the client publishes the next page without calling you. You also decide what does not get built: a request with no destination page goes back with an argument. The site is yours; publication is the proof.

What a Web Designer delivers on a Shakers project
The site mapped
The key pages with hierarchy and destination: what exists, what for, and where each visit leads.
The design applied
The brand of the manual in components and templates: no default theme, no generic template.
The publication
Staging, content, tested forms and domain: the live site, not the mockup.
Published sites
What you built, on which platform and what converted: practice gets demonstrated with live URLs.
Respected brand
Typography and colour of the manual applied without betraying them: the system rules over fashion.
Controls handed over
The client edits the site without depending on you: short documentation and templates ready.
Frequently asked questions
Any other questions? Write to us and we will reply.
What does a Web Designer do by project?
They design and build sites per engagement: corporate pages, landings and WordPress with applied brand and forms that convert. From wireframe to the site published on a domain.
Web Designer or web developer?
You build with page builders and WordPress; custom functionality belongs to the developer. The boundary gets linked in every engagement: your SMB almost always needs the site first.
Web Designer or UX/UI designer?
The UX/UI designer designs the interface of a digital product with users and flows; the web designer builds the site that presents and sells. Many engagements cross, boundary written.
WordPress or a builder like Divi?
WordPress if content will grow; a builder if speed without maintenance comes first. You decide per engagement and leave the reason written: the client understands what they chose.
Is there enough engagement in Spain for web design by project?
The door is the biggest in the design neighbourhood: in Spain 'diseñador web freelance' sums 390 searches a month and the local marketplaces serve it (Shakers market analysis, September 2026).
How do I get in without a contact network?
By getting certified: the process certifies your practice and the collective brings the engagements. Your work is showing published sites with real consequences; matching each project is ours.
The daily shape of the craft
The brief with five pages that turn out to be eleven, the logo as a 72-dpi jpg and the client who wants 'something like Apple' on a shared-hosting budget. Less museum, more published sites that load and convert.
WordPress or builder: decide with the engagement
The SMB with growing content lives on a well-tuned WordPress; whoever wants no maintenance picks a builder. Your value is deciding per project and handing the controls to the client. The door is the biggest in the design neighbourhood: in Spain, 'diseñador web freelance' sums 390 searches a month (Google Ads).
What it is not
You are not a plugin integrator or a custom developer: when the functionality does not exist, that boundary has a row of its own and gets linked. Your deliverable is the site that sells.
Who you share the site with
A site does not live alone: whoever writes the plugin and whoever sets up the store cross your path in every engagement.
WordPress Developer
The direct boundary: plugin, integration or functionality the builder cannot give. Their row joins with the code when the engagement asks.
UX/UI Designer
The interface with users and flows: when the engagement grows into a digital product, their row takes that conversation.
Ecommerce Developer
Selling when the site grows into a store: product page, cart and gateway built on the design you deliver.
Frontend Developer
Custom animations and components: the interactive production your design promised, coded with fidelity.
Product Designer
Design inside the product team: when the SMB grows into a digital product, their row joins with discovery and prototypes.
Boundaries between these roles get agreed per project: the job title does not set them.
