Build an Interactive Timeline Website

Timelines are perfect for visualizing stories, history, or progress. Building an animated timeline website strengthens your skills in scroll-based design, card layouts, event sequencing, and storytelling UI patterns.

Enable users to scroll through or navigate a timeline of events with animated entries, dates, descriptions, images, and optionally branching paths for different categories or parallel developments.

As users scroll down or sideways, events appear dynamically with animated transitions, visual markers (dates/icons), and expandable descriptions, providing an intuitive, flowing historical or narrative exploration experience.

• Each event consists of a year/date, title, description, and optional image or video.
• As users scroll, events fade/slide into view sequentially or based on section triggers.
• Optional category filters allow different timeline views based on themes.
• Media-rich entries keep users engaged and enhance storytelling depth.
• Responsive design ensures mobile-first smooth interaction for touch scrolling.
