How it works

How to add a timeline to your website

Add your stories, pick a design, paste the code.

  1. Start from a ready timeline

    Company history, startup journey, product roadmap, project milestones, event agenda, travel plan, wedding story, career, course plan and more.

  2. Add your stories

    A date, a title and a few words for each, with a photo, a video, an icon or a button if you want one. Star the big moments.

  3. Paste the embed code

    Add your website, copy the code and paste it once. New stories show on your site as soon as you save.

Features

A timeline people actually read

  • Five layouts

    Down the middle, down one side, packed tight, sideways with arrows, or one story at a time under a row of dates.

  • Eight designs

    Classic, flat, elegant, modern, clean, ribbon, minimal and frosted glass.

  • Stories that move

    Slide, fade, rise, zoom, flip or come into focus as they scroll in, one after another, at the speed you pick.

  • Photos and video

    A wide picture or a small one beside the words, or a YouTube or Vimeo video.

  • Big moments stand out

    Mark a story as featured and it gets a tag and a stronger card.

  • Roadmaps that show progress

    Done, now and next on each step, and a bar of how far along you are (paid plans).

  • Your look

    Light, dark or a colour for every story, dots, rings, numbers, icons or photos on the line.

  • Neat on a phone

    Every layout turns into one tidy column on a small screen.

Designs

Five ways to lay it out

The same stories, told the way that suits your page.

  • Alternate

    Stories on both sides of a line down the middle.

  • One side

    The line on the left, every story to its right.

  • Sideways

    A row of stories under a line of dates, moved with arrows or a swipe.

  • Tabs

    One story at a time, picked from a row of dates.

Everything included

Everything in the timeline widget

Every design and setting you can use. Most are on every plan; the few that need a paid plan say so.

Stories

  • A date or a label like Step 1, a title and text
  • A photo, a YouTube or Vimeo video, or an icon
  • A button to any page
  • Featured stories with a tag
  • Done, now and next badges and a progress bar (paid plans)

Layouts and designs

  • Alternate, one side, compact, sideways and tabs
  • Classic, clean, minimal, flat, elegant, modern, ribbon and glass
  • Every layout and design on every plan

Motion

  • Slide, fade, rise, zoom, flip or focus
  • Fast, normal or slow
  • Stories one after another, or all together
  • No motion for visitors who turn it off on their device

Your look

  • Light, dark or a colour per story
  • Dots, rings, numbers, icons or photos on the line
  • A solid, dashed or dotted line
  • Dates as a year, a month, a full date or short
  • Nothing behind it, your colour, a gradient or a photo

Who it is for

Where a timeline fits

  • About us pages

    How the business started, grew and where it is now, with photos from each year.

  • Roadmaps and projects

    What is done, what is next, and the date for each step.

  • Events and weddings

    The day's agenda, or how a couple met, from the first date to the big day.

Common problems

Timeline not working? Check these first

Most problems have a quick fix. Find yours below.

  • The stories don't move when I scroll

    That device probably has Reduce motion turned on, so the stories simply appear. Everyone else sees the motion you picked.

  • My stories are in the wrong order

    They follow the order in the editor, not the dates. Drag them into the order you want.

  • Nothing shows on my website

    Add your website in the Install tab, under Allow your website, then open the live page (not your builder's editor). Still blank? Right-click the spot, choose Inspect, and look for a [widgetpop] line in the Console tab.

Still stuck? Email [email protected] and we usually reply within a day.

FAQ

Timeline widget: questions

How do I add a timeline to my website?

Create a timeline widget, start from a ready one, add your stories and paste the embed code into your page.

Can it go sideways?

Yes. The sideways layout shows the stories in a row under a line of dates, moved with arrows or a swipe. On a phone it becomes one column.

Can I add videos?

Yes. Paste a YouTube or Vimeo link into a story and it plays right in the timeline.

Is it free?

Yes. The free plan has every layout and design, and up to 10 stories. Paid plans add roadmaps, filters, search, videos and more stories.

Will it slow down my website?

No. It loads after your page, and pictures load only when people scroll to them.
