Quick answer
Media Express (Website Design Chicago) designs e-commerce websites for Chicago businesses, from a few products or deposits to full catalogs, typically on WordPress with WooCommerce or a hosted platform chosen for the catalog and budget. Checkout, payments, order notifications and product pages are planned and tested before launch.
From a few products to a full catalog
Not every business needs a large online store. Some need a few products, gift cards, deposits or service bookings with payment. Others need a full catalog with variations, shipping rules and taxes. We help you choose the right tools for your size and plan checkout, order notifications and the next steps for your team.
What we plan with you
- Products, services, variations and pricing structure.
- Payments, taxes, shipping or local pickup.
- Order notifications for customers and your team.
- Product pages written to answer buyer questions.
- Search-friendly structure for categories and products.
- Privacy-conscious analytics for sales and inquiries.
Online ordering for local businesses
Restaurants, bakeries, delis and shops can take orders online for pickup or delivery. We connect ordering to your existing tools where possible, so orders reach the right person quickly.

Our own audience
We don’t buy traffic. We create it.
Most agencies build a website and leave you to find visitors. Media Express owns the audience. Polish Network is the largest Polish-American network of owned media in the USA: 120+ of our own websites and portals, social media channels and news portals.
We also run the world’s largest aggregator of Polish radio stations, with 300+ stations from Poland, the United States and the diaspora in one place. We are building the American edition now, and next an edition for every country.
And we run your business on Szef.AI, our own AI operating system and CRM that works with everything, everywhere. New and better AI models appear every day, and Szef.AI is already connected to them. It is a solution nobody can match.
More than 8 million Americans report Polish ancestry (U.S. Census Bureau). Through our network, millions of people can become your customers. A typical web design agency cannot offer you this.
