Process · Path

A wavy dashed path across the section, from one round photo to another: the steps sit on its crests and in its valleys, with their text above or below. A button underneath.

See it live: Process · Path on fancybricks.co — the live preview, and the button that copies it.

Or open the preview on its own — narrow the window to see it on a phone — and in dark mode.

In the builder

Preview on the front end. Scripts don't run inside the builder, so here you only see the layout: the dashes do not move here and the pause button is hidden (the builder does not run the code). Save and open the page to see the full result.

Structure

This is what the Bricks Structure panel shows after you paste the template. Component instances say which component they are.

The template also pastes a dashed note above the section, with the short version of this page. It only shows inside the builder, never on the published page — see Builder notes.

FBK Timeline path

This template is built on its own component, FBK Timeline path: select it in the Structure panel and everything below is in its Properties.

A wavy dashed path from one round photo to another, with the steps taking turns in its valleys and on its crests (text below or above). Put FBK Timeline step components in the Steps slot: any number, five fit well on large screens; their dates are not shown. On tablets and phones it turns into a straight vertical line.

FBK Timeline path in the Bricks panel: its own properties are at the top.

• Start photo: The round photo where the path starts (decoration: it keeps an empty alt text).
• End photo: The round photo where the path ends.

Style

• Look: Plain: no box. Soft: a tinted box that fills on hover. Outline: a thin edge that fills on hover. Solid: filled. Elevated: a raised surface with a small shadow. The same looks as every Fancy Bricks component (and the buttons: Ghost, Secondary, Outline, Primary). Options: Plain · Soft · Outline · Solid · Elevated.
• Tone: Brand: your accent color. Neutral: the text color around it. White: the same on every background, for controls over photos. Options: Brand · Neutral · White.
• Shape: Round: a circle on icons, a pill on text. Blob: a bubble that turns round on hover (icons). Options: Rounded · Round · Square · Blob.
• Path color: Accent: your accent color (a light brand tone on dark backgrounds). Neutral: the text color, faded. Options: Accent · Neutral.
• Size: Height of the wave and size of the dots and photos. Options: Small · Medium · Large.
• Background: Dark or Brand when the path sits on a dark or brand background you made. Options: Auto · Light · Dark · Brand.

Motion

• Moving path: The dashes move along the path, with the common pause button (WCAG 2.2.2). They stop off screen and with reduced motion. Needs "Execute code"; without it (and in the builder) the path stays still. Off: a still dashed path, without the button. Options: On · Off.

How to adjust

Every step is the same move: pick the element in the Structure panel, change its Properties.

Where are those panels?

How to adjust a template shows every one of them in a screenshot of the real builder: the Structure and Properties panels, the classes on an element, a component's style families and the field where a CSS variable goes.

The classes this element carries, in the Bricks panel.

This template's own component, with its Style group open.

1. Paste the template in Bricks first — see Copy and paste.
2. Select Intro (FBK Intro) › Properties: Eyebrow, Hide eyebrow, Title, Title level, Lead, Hide lead · Style group: Eyebrow style, Highlight, Title size, Accent line · Layout group: Alignment, Layout, Background, Spacing · Motion group: Reveal in slider.
3. Select Timeline path (FBK Timeline path) › Properties: Start photo, End photo · Style group: Look, Tone, Shape, Path color, Size, Background · Motion group: Moving path.
4. Select Step · Say hello, Step · Meet the team, Step · See the plan (+2 more) (FBK Timeline step) › Properties: Date, Title, Title tag, Text, Icon · Show or hide group: Hide date, Hide text.
5. Select Button (FBK Button) › Properties: Text, Link, Tone, Shadow on hover · Icon group: Icon, Icon position · Style group: Style, Size, Width, Hover effect.

Requirements

• Code execution. Needs "Execute code" enabled for the role in Bricks → Settings → Custom code, or the JS block shows as plain text instead of running.

What each requirement is, and how to set it up once for the whole site: Requirements.

Finish by hand

• The path is the FBK Timeline path component: pick the two round photos at the ends, the look of the dots, the color of the path, its size and the moving dashes in its properties. They are decoration, so the photos keep an empty alt text.
• Each step is an FBK Timeline step in the path's Steps slot; duplicate one to add a step (five fit well on large screens). The dots take turns: valley, crest, valley… and the path always runs through them, whatever the number of steps.
• The wave is drawn in the class .fbk-timeline-path (Style > CSS): each segment is an S curve from one dot to the next. Its height is --fbk-tlpath-wave, the dot size --fbk-tlpath-dot, the photo size --fbk-tlpath-photo and the color --fbk-tlpath-color.
• On tablets and phones the path turns into a straight vertical line from one photo to the other.
• The moving dashes are the path's Moving path property (class .fbk-timeline-path--march); Off gives a still dashed path and hides the pause button. The pause button is required while they move (WCAG 2.2.2; it needs "Execute code"); they also stop off screen and with reduced motion.

On phones

The template is designed desktop first, the Bricks default, and only changes at the two widths the library uses:

• 991px and below — .fbk-intro, .fbk-timeline, .fbk-timeline-path (+1 more).
• 767px and below — .fbk-section, .fbk-timeline.

Those changes live in Bricks' own breakpoint fields, so you edit them where you always do: pick the breakpoint in the toolbar and the same fields follow.

Careful with the classes shared by the whole library (fbk-section, fbk-intro, the component classes): a change there shows up in every template that uses them.

If your site's breakpoints are set up mobile first, copy the mobile-first variant of the template instead — see Copy and paste.

Accessibility

In this template, keyboard focus is visible on every interactive piece; movement is cut back when the visitor's system asks for less motion; the state screen readers need is already set (aria-hidden, aria-label).

What is checked on every template, and what depends on your own palette: Accessibility.

Dark mode

With your site in dark mode this section turns dark too — the class fbk-section--auto-dark on the section does it. Remove the class to keep it light.

Its background is a modifier on the section, so you can swap it for any of the ones the template is checked with: fbk-section--light, fbk-section--soft, fbk-section--dark.

How the library follows your site's color scheme: Dark mode and preview.
