Mile Markers

A timeline or a list of steps. A line grows down the list as people read, and each step lights up when the line reaches it.

How a project runs

  1. Week 1

    Listen

    A call to learn what you need, who it is for and what has to be ready by when.

  2. Week 2

    Plan

    Pages, content and a schedule on one page, so everyone agrees before work starts.

  3. Weeks 3–5

    Design and build

    The site takes shape in Framer. You see progress every week and comment on the real thing.

  4. Week 6

    Launch

    Final checks on phones and laptops, then the site goes live on your domain.

Alternate, with numbers

Steps on both sides of the line. Under 640px wide it turns into one column, so it reads well on phones.

  1. 2016

    Two people, one desk

    The studio starts in a shared office with one client and a borrowed printer.

  2. 2018

    First book cover

    A small publisher asks for a cover. Forty more follow over the next three years.

  3. 2021

    A team of eight

    Designers, a writer and a developer, working from two cities.

  4. 2024

    Our own room

    A street-level studio with space for workshops and open evenings.

  5. Today

    Still drawing first

    Every project starts on paper, then moves to the screen.

Details

Follows the reader

The line grows as people scroll and each marker lights up when the line reaches it. Scroll back and it shrinks again, or keep it lit with Once.

Two layouts

Line on the left, or steps on both sides of the line. Alternate turns into one column under 640px wide.

Dots, rings or numbers

Three marker styles with your own size, line width and colors.

Label, title and text

Each step has an optional label (a year, a week, a price), a title and a short text. Pick H2, H3, H4 or P for the titles.

Plain HTML

The steps are an ordered list in the page, so search engines and screen readers read all of them.

Reduced motion

Visitors who turn off motion see every step lit, with no movement.

Settings

Steps

Add, remove and reorder steps. Each has a label, a title and a text.

Layout

Line on the left, or alternate (both sides, one column under 640px).

Marker

Dot, ring or number, with its size.

Title tag / Fonts

H2, H3, H4 or P for titles, and fonts for the label, title and text.

Colors

Title, text, line (the growing line and lit markers), track (before they light up) and the inside of the markers.

Line width / Rail width / Gap

How thick the line is, the column it sits in, and the space between steps.

Unlit text

How faint the steps are before the line reaches them. 1 keeps them as they are.

Reading line / Once

Where on the screen a step lights up (0.6 = 60% down), and whether steps stay lit when people scroll back up.
