Timeline pagepart
Bring history to life with an interactive timeline full of stories, images and milestones.
Presenting history is more than just a list of dates. It is a story with a beginning, a development and a meaning. But on many websites, that story gets bogged down in dry text or a static infographic that nobody really reads.
The Timeline page part is an interactive page part that allows you to display milestones, events and stories in chronological order. Visitors scroll vertically or horizontally through the timeline; each item has its own title, text and image or video, and links to a detail page with more in-depth information. In this way, a timeline becomes not just a list, but an experience.
The ‘pagepart’ is ideally suited to heritage institutions, museums and city marketing. Think of the origins of the Dutch Water Lines, the history of a city, the development of a landscape or the milestones of an organisation. Wherever a story has a temporal dimension, a timeline lends that story both structure and depth.
For visitors, it feels like a journey of discovery. For the DMO or heritage organisation, it is a way of making complex history accessible without compromising on content.
