HTML Email

HTML Email by Chickering Associates

HTML Email has become an important communications tool for marketers, advertisers and public organizations. Beyond simple text, HTML email displays images, links, styled text, rows and columns, and more.

HTML Email performance can also be tracked. The sender can know if an HTML email was opened, how many times, by whom, and if any links in the email were clicked.

But a properly-constructed HTML email is complicated to create. The coding rules for HTML email are unique and must be followed carefully in order for your messages to work and appear properly in today's wide variety of desktop, tablet and mobile email browsers.

Chickering is expert in HTML email production. We can work with your layout and design, or create a design for you. Then we prepare all of the coding and show you an online proof for your approval, prior to sending.

We can also send and report on the performance of your HTML email, given your email mailing list. Please call us and let's talk about your HTML email project.

Graphic Design

Graphic Design by Chickering Associates

Graphic Design is a large part of our professional website effort. Page layouts, banners, photos, logos, color palettes and graphic style elements.

But we also develop traditional print materials. In fact, that's in part how our business began. Magazine ads, brochures, flyers, newsletters, sales literature, logo design and more.

We work with the Adobe suite of software products to help prepare graphic design and print materials – InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat. We write copy and we direct photography. We also have excellent vendor resources for printing, sorting and mailing.

Our graphic design clients depend on us for thoughtful creativity, quick turnaround, and high quality results.

Please call, let's talk about your project. We make the process easy and affordable.

As to cost, you will be pleasantly surprised. With Chickering, the best does not need to cost more.

For web developers needing help to code a custom website function or application, please call, we can assist you. We are proficient with PHP, HTML5, CSS2 and CSS3, Javascript, JQuery, and MySQL database.

About Chickering

Experience. Dependability. Quality. Results.

Chickering Associates began as a full-service advertising agency in Grand Rapids. Later we entered the broadcasting business, acquiring several AM/FM radio stations in northern Michigan. Today we focus on website development and media production services, as shown on this page, and also on CityWebCentral, our local government website enterprise.

We've worked successfully with many businesses, organizations and communities, and we are deeply experienced in product marketing, advertising, copy, video and audio production, graphic design, website development, and related technologies.

We can provide excellent client and business references, along with examples of our work. We like to be creative and have fun. At the same time we are straightforward with respect to our work and our customer relationships. When we take on your project and set an expectation, we deliver.

Many of our clients have been with us for a long time and come back to us again and again for service and results they can depend on.

If we haven't met yet, I am looking forward to that! Thank you for the opportunity.
