The Timeline element displays a sequence of events, milestones, or steps in chronological order, perfect for company history, product roadmaps, project phases, or “how it works” journeys.
Tells a story visually: sequential milestones with dates and icons are easier to follow than a bulleted list, giving visitors a sense of progress and journey.
Builds credibility: showing dated milestones (funding, launches, awards) signals momentum and history.
Great for process explanation: break down a multi-step process (onboarding, project phases, roadmap) into digestible, visually connected steps.
Horizontal: milestones sit above the timeline with the date and title only; connects icons/nodes along a horizontal line. Compact and clean for simple date markers.
Horizontal – Details below: same horizontal layout, but each milestone includes a full card below it with an icon, title, and description. Best when each milestone needs more explanation.
Vertical: milestones alternate left and right along a vertical line, each with a full detail card. Works well for longer timelines or storytelling sections where visitors scroll through the journey.
