Conversational forms that display one question at a time. Proven to increase completion rates by up to 40%.
What are Orbit Flows?
Orbit Flows transform your forms into a conversational experience. Instead of showing all questions at once, users see one question at a time and progress through the form step by step.
Why Use Orbit Flows?
- Higher Completion Rates — By showing one question at a time, users feel less overwhelmed and are more likely to complete the form. Studies show up to 40% higher completion rates.
- Keyboard-First Navigation — Users can quickly navigate using just the keyboard. Press Enter to continue, arrow keys for selections, and Tab to skip optional fields.
- Engaging Experience — The conversational format feels more personal and engaging, like a real conversation rather than filling out a boring form.
