Timeline with Summary Blocks

Code Toolkit
Written By Squarestylist Support

What You'll Create

A polished vertical timeline with connecting lines between entries and circular milestone markers. Each timeline entry pulls dynamically from your blog posts or events, keeping your timeline always up-to-date.

The Problem It Solves

Creating timelines in Squarespace typically requires manual HTML or third-party embeds. Summary Blocks display content nicely but don't have timeline styling. This technique bridges that gap—dynamic content with timeline visuals.

Perfect For

Company history pages, Project milestone tracking, Process and workflow steps, Career and resume timelines, Event schedules and itineraries

What Makes This Different

This approach uses your existing blog posts or events as timeline entries, so adding new milestones is as simple as publishing a new post. The connecting lines and markers are created automatically without touching any code blocks—pure visual styling applied to native Summary Blocks.
