I had a bit of a speculation over whether to use an external JQuery Plugin to create my timeline, however after doing some reading for using the JS Verite here are the pro's;
-The JS Verite runs off a Google drive Excel Spreadsheet, this can be added to after the document is submitted, therefore ATRG can individually add projects they may be working on in the future, making for easy editing throughout the web process.
-The timeline itself is beautifully made, it enables users to scroll through each project and read about the project once they select it, it also means they can pick and choose individual projects to read about or scroll through using the arrow on the side.
Here are a few other programs and code techniques i looked at before deciding on the JS Verite timeline.

I chose not to go with this coding technique due to the style of it, although it could have been altered through the CSS i didn't like the fact ATRG would not be able to add to it.

I did really like this style, however i was looking for a more usable timeline that narrated the story. Therefore vertical scrolling wasn't an ideal method to use.

This was another style i really liked, however along with ti being a vertical scroller it also re-directed to another page when the user clicked on for more information, which i didn't think was too ideal, i'd like it to stay a same page experience.
