Orbit is designed to work both as a standalone portal and as a deeply integrated extension of your existing website. With powerful embedding, WordPress integration, and extensive theming options, you can make Orbit feel like a seamless part of your organization's online presence.
Embedding
All of Orbit's major features can be embedded directly into your existing website, so visitors can interact with your content without leaving your site.
What Can Be Embedded
| Content | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Event list | Browsable, filterable list of all events |
| Individual events | Full event page with details and registration |
| Course list | Browsable list of all courses |
| Individual courses | Course detail page with enrollment |
| Resource library | Searchable resource library with filtering |
| Individual resources | Resource detail page |
| Member directory | Searchable directory with card, list, and map views |
| Individual profiles | Member profile pages |
| Announcements | Announcement list or individual announcements |
| Membership | Membership sign-up and level comparison pages |
How Embedding Works
Add two lines of code to any page on your website:
<script src="https://your-portal.com/embed.js" async></script>
<div data-portal-embed="events"></div>
The embed script automatically:
- Creates a responsive iframe for each embed placeholder
- Adjusts the iframe height to match the content (no scrollbars)
- Inherits your portal's theme and branding inside the embed
- Supports dynamic content — filtering, pagination, and HTMX interactions all work within the embedded view
- Picks up embed placeholders added dynamically (for single-page applications)
You can also use a standard iframe if you prefer manual control:
<iframe src="https://your-portal.com/events/?embed=1"
width="100%" height="800" frameborder="0"></iframe>
Works with Any Website
Embedding works with any website that supports iframes — WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, custom HTML, or any other platform. No special plugins or server configuration required.
WordPress Integration
Embedding in WordPress
All of Orbit's embeddable components work in WordPress using the embed code above. You can add it to any page, post, or widget area using a custom HTML block.
Hosted WordPress (Higher Tier Plans)
For organizations on higher tier plans, Orbit offers a hosted WordPress site as part of your subscription. This includes:
- WordPress admin access — log in to your WordPress dashboard directly from the Orbit admin portal
- Site health monitoring — automated health checks every 10 minutes track your site's uptime, response time, and status. A visual timeline shows recent health history.
- Daily screenshots — an automated daily screenshot of your site's homepage, visible from the admin dashboard
- Request a site — organizations can request a hosted WordPress site from the admin portal
The hosted WordPress integration is managed from the Website section of the admin portal, which shows your site's current status, a link to visit the site, and a direct login link to the WordPress admin.
Coming Soon
The following features are planned:
- WordPress plugin — a dedicated WordPress plugin for much deeper integration, allowing you to embed Orbit's events, resources, directory, courses, and more directly into your WordPress themes and block editor with full control over layout and styling
