Chickering Associates began building websites in 1997. As demand grew, we formed CityWebCentral to provide focused web development services. Today, CA and CWC design, build and manage websites for a wide variety of businesses, organizations and municipalities.

Each CityWebCentral website is custom crafted to meet your unique need. Using state-of-the-art tools, design and technologies, we build to today's highest standards - full size and mobile content.

CityWebCentral builds your website right here in our own studios, streamlining cost and communication. CityWebCentral combines creative design, technical skill, marketing background, and multi-media production resources... conveniently in West Michigan.

Chickering Associates produces quality video for TV advertising, web streaming, sales and marketing presentations, fundraising, and product demonstration.

See some examples here on our YouTube Channel. We have professional camera and lighting equipment, and we edit in our own studio facility using Final Cut Pro.

We have access to on-camera talent and site locations for any kind of video production. We write, script, shoot, edit and distribute your video in any format, from broadcast to web to DVD. In short, we offer full-service executive video production services, on an affordable budget. For a fresh, creative approach to your video project, call us!

Chickering Associates has owned and operated radio stations in northern Michigan. Here are samples of John's radio ads and music productions. Except for (some of) the ladies, the characters and voiceovers are all John. He sings too (rather pitchy in places). All of the copy, lyrics and most of the custom music here was written and produced by John.
