03 / Website use cases
Where to use manual event timeline
About pages, project plans and course schedules all need a simple list of what happened when. Manual event timeline lets you type each date, title and details, shows dates in the site’s format, sorts them if you like, and draws a clean vertical line with dots. It is an ordered list underneath, so it reads well without styles.
Project plans
List milestones and dates.
Courses
Show what happens each week.

Why is an event at the end?
