The Story Timeline Vertical is an engaging, image-rich widget designed to chronicle a company's history, milestones, or a project's evolution. This layout is perfect for the 'About Us' section where storytelling is key. It arranges content along a central vertical line, creating a clear chronological flow that guides the user down the page. The design alternates content left and right (on larger screens) to maintain visual balance and rhythm.
Each timeline entry consists of a date or year marker on the central axis, accompanied by a descriptive text block on one side and a relevant image on the other. The text area allows for a headline and a paragraph description, while the image area is perfect for showcasing historical photos, product launches, or team moments. Connectors and dots on the timeline reinforce the sequence of events. The visual style is clean and modern, with the central line acting as a narrative thread. As the user scrolls, the items can animate in from the sides, adding a dynamic storytelling element. This widget effectively turns a dry list of dates into a compelling visual journey. It builds credibility by showing longevity and growth. On mobile devices (767px and below), the layout shifts to a single-column timeline where the line runs down the left side, and all content (image and text) sits to the right, ensuring a smooth and logical reading experience on narrow screens.
Bring this layout to life on your website in just a few clicks.
Edit visually using the extension or native blocks
First, ensure you have pasted the global Redesignee connector script into your site's Code Injection settings. Once connected, you have two easy ways to build:
Native Block: Simply add the native Redesignee Widget Block directly from the fluid engine editor menu inside Squarespace.
Manual Markdown: Add a standard Markdown Block, paste your widget’s code snippet, and the Redesignee floating "Customize" button will automatically appear right over the block.
Both methods let you tweak settings, copy items, and design visually in real time. Saving your changes syncs the updates instantly to your live page.
See Squarespace installation guide

If you are using the Gutenberg Block Editor, click the " + " icon and select the Redesignee Block. Launch the Cloud Library directly inside your workspace, choose your customized template, and import it with a single click. It automatically inherits your theme fonts and styles!
