THE ORBIT DESK

Give static websites a complete maintenance record.

Connect the live URL and GitHub repository to keep the technical stack, content, uptime, audits, and client work together. Edit supported Markdown content without switching to a separate content management system.

Stack scanning

Discover technologies and server information from the live website to understand how a static site is built.

GitHub content editor

Edit Markdown and frontmatter, prepare drafts, and manage supported media in a content workflow connected to the repository.

Monitoring and client care

Follow uptime, SSL, Lighthouse audits, tasks, contracts, and reports from the same agency portfolio.

The example uses illustrative data. Content editing depends on the connected repository structure and supported content types. Git commits use your existing deployment pipeline.

Care continues after launch

The site is static. The client relationship keeps moving.

A brochure site or campaign page still has an owner, a production URL, a source repository, and a client who expects it to work. A new request or availability issue needs the same clear follow-through as any other site in your portfolio.

Orbit combines stack scanning, Git-connected content editing, and monitoring around the live site. Your deployment pipeline keeps its role, while the agency has a shared place to review the technology, update supported content, and manage client work.

How it works

From repository connection to content commit.

Keep editorial changes connected to the source your team already maintains.

  1. Source

    Connect GitHub

    Authorize access and associate the repository and branch with the site.

  2. Inventory

    Discover the content

    Inspect supported content collections and the Markdown files and frontmatter fields they contain.

  3. Editing

    Prepare a draft

    Edit content and supported media, saving a draft while the change is being reviewed.

  4. Git

    Commit the change

    Write approved content to the selected repository branch; your existing build and hosting workflow handles deployment.

Repository content and website maintenance, together.

Examples describe the available workflow; the interface previews use illustrative data.
