How to Create a Responsive Horizontal Timeline in HTML CSS
First of all, load the Google Fonts by adding the following CDN links into the head tag of your HTML document.
<link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com"> <link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.gstatic.com" crossorigin> <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Montserrat:wght@400;600&display=swap" rel="stylesheet"><link rel='stylesheet' href='https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/modern-normalize/1.1.0/modern-normalize.min.css'>
Create the HTML structure for the horizontal timeline as follows:
