  • Alternating style for a rich narrative
  • Key company dates
  • Archive images for each event
  • Fade-in animation with progression enabled

Project milestones

  • Left style for simplicity
  • Labels: "Phase 1", "Phase 2", etc.
  • Descriptive texts with details
  • Diamond point style

Product journey (from conception to delivery)

  • Centered style for smooth reading
  • Custom icons per step
  • Images illustrating each phase
  • Scale animation for impact
💡Enable progression for a line "fill" effect on scroll. This gives a sense of progression and encourages the user to keep scrolling to see the rest.
⚠️On mobile, the Alternating style automatically switches to Left style for better readability. Make sure your content works well in both layouts.
