About Willow Leaf
Hello! I’m Jonathan Clensy, a freelance web developer based on The Wirral. I launched Willow Leaf Web Solutions to help start-ups, SMEs and charities develop their online web presence, by creating beautiful, effective and affordable websites. I bring more than 15 years’ experience of designing and building websites for many different organisations across a range of sectors, from familiar household names to large professional services companies.
Based in Merseyside, most of my projects are for clients in the Liverpool, Wirral and Chester areas, but don’t worry if you are further afield as I am happy to work with businesses throughout the UK. Drop me a line if you would like to discuss your website needs.
Popular Packages
I understand that every project is unique. I carefully build a bespoke package tailored to each client’s needs. But as a starting point, you can find some of my most popular website packages below.
Landing page
A single page website is an ideal option if you need to quickly make your brand visible to people, to give them an introduction and overview of your business along with contact details.
Start-up
Perfect when your business needs to take the step up from a single page. Can feature up to five pages, giving plenty of scope to promote your services. Includes a contact form for visitors to easily get in touch.
Advanced
Targeted at SMEs that require an expansive site that typically features up to ten pages. Includes full management access to a dynamic blog/news section to allow you to regularly update your customers.
e-commerce
If you are looking for customers to be able to buy products direct from your site, this is the package for you. The finished site will also include everything that the Advanced package has to offer.
Recent Work
I have recently completed an e-commerce site for Pressed Petals, a business based on The Wirral. Pressed Petals specialise in wedding bouquet preservation. Using their own traditional flower presses they expertly dry, press and preserve bridal flowers. The results are stunning! The wedding bouquets once pressed are carefully arranged into floating frames that allow you to display and admire your bouquet for years to come.
When they approached me, the client was looking for a way that they could promote and sell their products online. With a number of different frame sizes and frame types, they needed a solution that would allow customers to be able to choose the exact product variation they wanted. There was also some very specific details that they needed to be able to collect at the time the order was being placed.
Working closely with the Pressed Petals team I was able to design and build a fully bespoke, responsive e-commerce website that met all of their requirements. The team can now easily manage all orders, queries and reviews from their own secure control panel, allowing a great user experience for both business and customer.
“Jon designed our e-commerce website and was so helpful throughout the entire process. From initial ideas right through to showing us how to use the backend of the website.
“He’s been very responsive via email and nothing is too much trouble for him. We highly recommend him! “

Mobile Friendly Websites
Visitors to your website can be using a vast array of devices to reach you. The site should look great and be just as easy to read and navigate whether you are viewing on a mobile, tablet or desktop.
We have all had the jarring experience of viewing a website on a mobile that has clearly been built only for a desktop user. The result is that you move on to another website as quickly as possible.
With mobiles now accounting for more than half of all visitor traffic, it is vital a site works across all device types and adapts to all screen sizes. All Willow Leaf websites are carefully designed and tested across multiple platforms so you can be confident that whether your visitor is using a mobile, tablet, laptop, desktop or even their TV they will be viewing an optimal version of your site, ensuring their first impression of your brand is a good one.
Hosting and Maintenance Plans
All Willow Leaf websites are hosted on state-of-the-art servers that have been optimised for WordPress. Your site is held within a secure data centre in the UK meeting industry best-practices for information security. Furthermore, if you opt for the platinum hosting package you get a 99.99% uptime SLA with daily off-server backups, giving you peace of mind that your site is in safe hands and will be available when your customers are looking for it.
In addition to the initial site build, I also offer an ongoing maintenance plan starting at less than £1 per day that ensures your site will remain in tip top condition, taking the worry of keeping the site running at its optimum away from you, allowing you to stay focused on running your business. The cost of the plan also includes annual renewal for a single domain and a range of other features. Click on the button below for a full breakdown of what is included.
