Who we are
A dad and a daughter, and a very fair split of the work.
Who does what
Missing Piece Studio is two people, and the division of labour is not complicated.
Mika builds it.
The design, the layout, the code, the writing, the French, the photos. She is the one who cares what the buttons look like and whether the spacing is right. She is deep into AI and web development, which works out well for you: your site gets built with the tools that exist now, not a template from four years ago.
Dad gets it live, and keeps it there.
The domain, the hosting, the DNS, the certificate, the backups, the contract, the invoice. None of it is fun. All of it is the reason your site is still up at two in the morning on a long weekend.
One of us does the fun stuff. One of us does the boring stuff. We have both decided we got the better end of that deal.
The business is a real partnership. The bickering is also real.
Why this exists
We started because of something Mika noticed while walking around our neighbourhood. There are businesses here that people love, that have been around for years, that do genuinely good work. Search for them online and you find a phone number and four photos somebody else took.
Why it's priced monthly
You pay monthly and you can leave after three months. That means this only keeps working for us if it keeps working for you. If we build you something you don't like, or we disappear when you need a change, you stop paying and we've made nothing. We'd rather that pressure be on us.
The name is the whole idea
Most of the businesses we want to work with are already good. The reputation is there, the customers are there, the work is there. There's one piece missing, and it's the piece that makes all the rest of it findable.
If your business is good and hard to find, we'd like to fix that.
