I didn’t use any JQuery, BoostApp, or JavaScript. Responsive Vertical Timeline has been created using Pure HTML CSS. I have added all the information using HTML. Then I designed and made it responsive using CSS.

How to create a vertical timeline in HTML 

I have not shared any tutorial here. Because it is very simple so no tutorial is needed. Here you will find the required source code which you can copy directly. Although I have been given an option to download the source code. 

As you can see, this is a simple timeline. There is a long line here. The information is shown in small boxes on both sides of the line. First, create an HTML CSS file. Then add the following code to that file.

HTML Code (index.html)

The code below is the HTML code that will basically add all the text in this Vertical Timeline. Add these codes to your HTML file.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang=“en”>
<head>
  <meta charset=“UTF-8”>
  <meta name=“viewport” content=“width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0”>
  <meta http-equiv=“X-UA-Compatible” content=“ie=edge”>
  <title>Document</title>
  <!–CSS file–>
  <link rel=“stylesheet” href=“style.css”>
</head>
<body>
<section class=“timeline”>
 <ul>
  <li>
    <div class=“content”>
      <h2>
