## Orbit CSS overview
**Orbit** is a CSS framework designed for creating radial layouts. It offers simplicity, effectiveness, ease of use, and tremendous versatility for crafting compelling designs. It offers extensive customization options and supports nesting for building intricate designs tailored to your requirements.
## Why Orbit?
Creating radial UIs generally involves using JavaScript or other programming languages to calculate angles, radii, distances, and more. **Orbit** saves you time and effort by enabling you to build these UIs with just CSS.
## Documentation
Learn all about **Orbit** in our [doc site](https://zumerlab.github.io/orbit-docs)!
## What is radial UI?
Radial UI refers to a design paradigm where elements are organized in a circular or radial pattern, diverging from traditional grid-based or linear layouts. This design approach is particularly effective for applications that involve:
- **Circular data visualization:** progress bars, pie charts, multi-level pies, gauges, knobs
- **Navigation menus and controls:** radial or pie menus, circular scrolling
- **Dashboards:** smart-home interfaces, car dashboards, infotainment systems
- **Calendars:** circular layouts for scheduling and event tracking
- **Creative art and structures:** mandalas, sci-fi-inspired art, chemical structures
- **Interactive interfaces:** watch faces, dynamic controls for games or tools
**Characteristics of radial UI:**
- **Circular layout:** elements are arranged in a circular or curved pattern.
- **Center-focused:** the center often serves as a focal point.
- **Symmetry:** radial UIs frequently exhibit symmetry, fostering a sense of balance.
- **Angular relationships:** elements are positioned at specific angles relative to one another.
**Benefits of radial UI:**
- **Aesthetics:** radial designs are visually striking and engaging.
- **Intuitive navigation:** circular layouts simplify navigation and reduce cognitive load.
- **Space efficiency:** radial UIs make efficient use of available screen, ideal for both compact and expansive interfaces.
