about_us
The story behind
the dragon.
From a spare room in South Wales to a consultancy operating across Europe. This is what two decades of building things online looks like.
Built on real experience,
not just theory.
Dragons Media started in 2016 in South Wales. Not in a co-working space, not with a pitch deck. Just a solid understanding of how the web actually works and a track record of building things that perform.
In 2019, the business moved to Norway and was formally registered as a trade name under Browns Internettjeneste. Operating from Bergen gives us a natural home in the EU digital landscape and a front row seat to the questions that matter most to European businesses: data residency, GDPR compliance, and finding infrastructure that holds up under scrutiny.
The foundation goes back further than 2016 though. We ran a Dutch hosting company from 2001, managing over 10,000 domains before selling it in 2008. We spent eleven years in iGaming affiliate marketing. We have configured servers, debugged installs at 2am, studied what actually moves rankings, and learned the hard way what separates good hosting from bad.
That experience shapes everything we do. When we recommend a host or review an architecture decision, it comes from having been there, not from reading about it.
What we actually do.
Web design and SEO are the core of what we offer. Custom WordPress builds, performance tuning, on-page architecture, and content that earns its place in search. Not templated sites with a logo swap. Not keyword stuffed pages that fool nobody.
We also take on consultancy work. If you have an in-house team and need a second opinion, or if you are trying to navigate a hosting migration, an SEO audit, or a site rebuild without the agency overhead, that is exactly the kind of engagement we are set up for. We can work alongside your team or independently, depending on what actually makes sense for the project.
Our approach is direct. We will tell you what works, what does not, and where your budget is better spent. No jargon, no upselling services you do not need.
our_values
What drives us.
Performance First
A beautiful website that loads in six seconds is a failed website. Speed, uptime, and Core Web Vitals are non-negotiable foundations, not optional upgrades.
Privacy by Design
Operating from Norway means privacy is built in from day one. We design GDPR-compliant solutions as a starting point, not as an afterthought bolted on before launch.
Honest Advice
We recommend what actually works for your situation, even if that means a simpler and less expensive solution. Straightforward advice builds better relationships than upselling does.
Clean Craft
Messy code creates messy problems. We write clean, well-documented, maintainable code that any developer can pick up and understand without needing a guide to decode it.
EU Focused
We understand the European digital landscape: data residency requirements, regional performance expectations, and a regulatory environment that keeps shifting. That context matters.
Data Driven
Gut feelings do not drive our strategy. Analytics, testing, and measurable outcomes guide every recommendation we make. If we cannot measure it, we are cautious about claiming it.
tools_and_tech
Our toolkit.
We work with modern, well-tested technology that scales with your business and does not need replacing in two years.
