What are the differences to other apps?

Some may argue that you can make a timeline using many other common computer programs, such as Microsoft Paint. However, Preceden offers users a specialized set of tools that make the process simple. The result is a well organized, professional timeline that has been designed to the user’s specific requirements. Preceden features also make the actual creation process less time consuming than it otherwise would be for other programs. The site even boasts the ability to create a personalized timeline in under 60 seconds.

How does the web app look and feel to use?

Preceden offers users a clean, colorful layout that is as attractive as the timelines created here. The logo incorporates bright hues and professional font for a pleasing contrast that appeals to private users as well as professionals. Site navigation is made even easier by a lack of clutter or overbearing ads. Even the account page offers an organized, simple layout that allows the user to get right to making and managing their timelines.

How does the registration process work?

Preceden claims to be the easiest way to make a timeline, and the same can be said for the registration process. On the account creation page, new users need to enter a username, email and password. No further verification is required. As soon as the information is accepted, the user can move on to the actual account page and begin creating timelines.

What does it cost to use the application?

Preceden offers account access and use of all features at no cost. Creating a professional looking timeline is simple and can be done without paying for a monthly account fee. While no comment has been made about this changing anytime soon, the free access is another mark in Preceden’s favor.

Who would you recommend the application to?

The average person probably has little use for a timeline on a regular basis. However, teachers and other educators may find Preceden a valuable asset in teaching students and creating a visual relationship between events. Businesses and private users can find Preceden helpful in creating timelines of individuals, either to use as a recorded history or to celebrate achievements and lifetime activities. Comparisons can also be made, providing an easy way to see events in terms of time.
