Who We Are
About
We follow trails and lead industries
Lat Long is a boutique product development agency founded on a shared passion for exploration. We’re a team of avid travelers, bringing our global inspiration to every build. All of our digital experiences deliver the thrill of discovery, creating meaningful connections between brands and their audiences.
Behind the Name
Lines of latitude & longitude are universal
These lines are human-made descriptions of the Earth that have fueled exploration, discovery, and a wider understanding of our place in it for centuries. When these lines converge as a comprehensive grid, every intersection unlocks a world of possibilities.
How We Work
Our process is rooted in our passion for exploration
Even the simplest projects need a clear way forward. That’s why we’ve designed a watertight, 8-step process that leaves room for flexibility. We’ll create a custom project roadmap that meets your milestones and charts your journey to success.
1. Business Analysis
We go beyond designing and building products. We immerse ourselves in your day-to-day, uncovering insights to propel your business forward.
2. Define
We’ll work with you to define exactly what we’re building based on your unique goals and priorities.
3. Strategize
We break ground, exploring new ideas and testing hypotheses of how to achieve your business goals.
4. Research
Our design team searches far and wide for examples and inspiration while crafting and testing bespoke interface ideas.
5. Design
Starting with sketches, we map out a proposed structure. With each revision, we refine the visual and interactive design.
6. Develop
Instead of building an entire project at once, we break it into agile sprints to gauge progress and offer full visibility.
7. Test
We like to show incremental progress and ask for feedback at the end of each phase so we can make small adjustments.
8. Integrate
The best part of every project is the official launch, but first we ensure the product complements your business and process.
We Don’t Compromise on Craftmanship
Our quality is off the charts
Site maintenance and support is just as important as the launch of your product. We always fix our own bugs at no extra cost and there’s no time limit. This is part of our ongoing commitment to quality and one of the reasons our clients know they can rely on us for continued support.
