Timelines – 10 Free CSS Timeline Templates
Timelines is a pack of ten timeline templates — six vertical and four horizontal — each a single self-contained HTML file with the CSS inlined. No JavaScript is required by any design, and there are no libraries, fonts, or build tools.
The ten designs
- Classic Vertical — alternating cards on a center line; collapses to one column on mobile.
- Minimal Release Notes — hairline, dots, and type for changelogs.
- Dark Roadmap — shipped / in-progress / planned states on a progress-colored spine.
- Activity Feed — avatars, verbs, quoted attachments, relative timestamps.
- Horizontal Steps — checkout-style progress with states; rotates vertical on phones.
- Horizontal History — sideways scroll-snap track through eras; native CSS snapping.
- Horizontal Quarters — roadmap cards above and below a gradient line.
- Milestone Cards — numbered “how it works” steps on a connector.
- Gradient Glow — vertical gradient spine with per-step accent colors.
- Resume Timeline — two-column CV experience layout with skill chips.
