About thenet.ie

The web team that's still here 26 years later.

We started building Irish business websites in 1999, from Malahide, Co. Dublin. We're still at it — still a small, senior team, and a good few of our clients have been with us for over a decade. No call centre, no juniors learning on your budget, no being passed from desk to desk. Just experienced people who design it, build it, market it and mind it for you.

Our story

We've watched the internet change. We kept clients winning through all of it.

When we started in 1999, a website was still a novelty. Since then we've been through dial-up, mobile, Google's hundred algorithm changes, social media and now AI. Trends came and trends went. We adapted every time, and we kept our clients ahead instead of chasing whatever was shiny that month.

What hasn't changed is how we work. We stayed deliberately small and senior — so when you ring, you get someone who actually knows your site and your business, not a ticket number. It's why a lot of our clients have been with us for fifteen years and more.

26 years in

Since 1999. We've outlasted most of the agencies that opened after us, and a fair few trends besides.

One team, all of it

Designers, developers and marketers in one Malahide studio. No handoffs, no finger-pointing, nobody passing the buck.

Results, not reports

We measure leads, rankings and revenue, and we'll happily show you the numbers. Pretty graphs that mean nothing aren't our style.

Good to know

A few things people ask before they ring.

Since 1999 — so 26 years and counting. We've been building and growing Irish business websites longer than most agencies have existed.

Malahide, Co. Dublin. We work with businesses right across Ireland, and a handful further afield.

Yes. You get a named contact who knows your account, not a rota of strangers. It's the whole point of staying small.

Our core team is in-house in Malahide. For larger builds we bring in specialist developers we've worked with for years — all managed and quality-checked by us, so you only ever deal with us.

Everyone from sole traders to established companies. We've helped over 1,200 Irish businesses to date.

No. We cover the lot: web design and development, bespoke software, managed hosting, security, SEO, Google Ads, social, content, AI and automation. One team, one number to ring.
