Quick answer
Media Express LLC, the company behind Website Design Chicago, has worked on the web continuously since April 1, 1995: 31+ years without interruption and 2,500+ digital projects. It also runs Polish Network, the largest Polish-American owned-media network in the USA (120+ of its own websites and portals), and polskieradio.online, the world’s largest aggregator of Polish radio stations.
31+ years, without a break
Media Express was founded on April 1, 1995, more than three years before Google. Since then the company has worked on the web continuously, through dial-up, the first search engines, mobile, social media and now AI search. That continuity matters: we have seen which approaches last and which were fashions.
Over those years Media Express has delivered more than 2,500 digital projects: business websites, landing pages, online stores, event portals, campaigns and media platforms.

We run our own media network
Few web design agencies operate media of their own. Media Express designs, builds and runs Polish Network, a network of 120+ of our own websites and portals, including city portals, business directories and community sites for Polish-American audiences, plus about 40 Facebook pages and groups with roughly 180,000 followers and members combined (September 2026).
We don’t buy traffic. We create it. We also built and run polskieradio.online, the world’s largest aggregator of Polish radio stations with 300+ stations, and we are building its American edition now. Running our own platforms every day is how we test what works in hosting, speed, search and AI visibility before we recommend it to clients.
Platforms we designed and built
Media Express designed, built and technically operates platforms for Polish-American media and events, including polski.fm, wiadomosci.com, mojbilet.com and festivalpolonaise.com. Their editorial and business ownership belongs to their owners; the web work is ours.
Our own CMS: MESH/5.1
Since 1995 we have developed our own content management system, CMS MESH (Media Express Static Hub), now in version 5.1: one of the fastest and most secure ways to publish a website. We also built MESH for WordPress, so WordPress sites load like static pages. This website runs on it.
What working with us is like
- Founder-led, no relay. You talk to the people who design and build your site, not an account manager.
- No outsourcing of your project to unknown freelancers.
- You own your website: domain, content and access. See website ownership.
- Clear scope and price before work starts, with monthly plans available.
- Honest about search. We build strong foundations and do the work; we never promise rankings.
- English and Polish.
Documented in AI search
Media Express was recorded being recommended by name, out loud, in a Google AI Overview in live search results (video). We build client websites with the same structure: clear entity facts, structured data, answer-first content and an llms.txt file. See AI search optimization.

Our own audience
We don’t buy traffic. We create it.

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.
