Frequently asked questions

What is Orbit Webmaster?

Orbit Webmaster is website maintenance software for agencies and freelancers. It brings WordPress and static sites, monitoring, audits, maintenance tasks, contracts, and client reports into one workspace.

Can I manage WordPress and static websites together?

Yes. WordPress sites use the Orbit connector for site data and supported operations. Static sites combine stack scans, a production URL, and Git-connected content editing in the same portfolio.

Which WordPress maintenance features are available?

Orbit includes a plugin and theme directory, conflict rules, license tracking, recommendations, updates, and one-click WordPress admin access. Review the site inventory and known conflicts before applying updates.

How do static sites connect?

Add the live site and connect its Git repository for supported content editing. Orbit can scan the technology stack and monitor production, while your existing deployment pipeline continues to publish the site.

What does Orbit monitor?

Uptime monitoring tracks website availability and response times. SSL tracking helps you review certificate status and expiry. Security scans and Lighthouse audits add technical context for maintenance decisions.

Does Orbit help with SEO?

Orbit supports Lighthouse audits and connections to Google Search Console and Google Analytics. Use audit findings, search data, and traffic metrics to prioritize technical SEO work. These tools do not guarantee search rankings.

Which integrations are available?

Connect Google Search Console, Google Analytics, and Cloudflare, and configure Slack or webhook notifications. Hosting provider integrations for Cloudways, Kinsta, and WP Engine are coming.

Can the AI assistant change a live website?

The internal AI assistant provides contextual, read-only help with site information and audit findings. It does not execute website maintenance actions. Your team chooses and performs the next step.

Can I create branded client reports?

Yes. Generate PDF maintenance reports with agency branding and site information. Monthly report settings support automatic generation and optional email delivery to linked client contacts. Agency branding controls are also available for supported WordPress portal settings.

Are Safe Update, backups, and the client view available?

Safe Update, integrated backups, hosting provider integrations, and the dedicated client maintenance view are coming. Their pages describe planned workflows. Standard WordPress updates, reports, and agency branding settings are already available.

How is Orbit priced?

Orbit is free to use during the beta. Published future prices and plan inclusions are illustrative; final terms will be shared before billing begins.

Who is Orbit designed for?

Orbit is designed for web agencies, maintenance teams, and independent webmasters responsible for multiple client websites. Shared site records, team permissions, contracts, tasks, and hours help keep technical work connected to each client relationship.
