Frontend Frameworks
This section introduces the core frontend frameworks covered in the project—React, Vue, and Next.js—along with their benefits, comparisons, and links to further learning.
What Is a Frontend Framework?
Frontend frameworks help developers build interactive user interfaces efficiently. They handle:
- DOM rendering and updates
- Component architecture
- Routing (single-page navigation)
- State management
In this project, we focus on three major frameworks:
React
React is a component-based JavaScript library developed by Facebook.
Key Features:
- JSX syntax
- Virtual DOM for performance
- Component state and props
- Strong ecosystem (hooks, context, etc.)
Vue.js
Vue is a progressive framework focused on simplicity and flexibility.
Key Features:
- Easy learning curve
- Single-file components (
.vue) - Built-in directives and reactivity
- Vue Router and Pinia/Vuex for state
Next.js
Next.js is a React-based framework that adds SSR and routing.
Key Features:
- File-based routing
- Server-side rendering (SSR) or static generation (SSG)
- Built-in API routes
- Great performance and SEO support
Framework Comparison
| Feature | React | Vue | Next.js |
|---|---|---|---|
| Language | JavaScript | JavaScript | JavaScript |
| Routing | React Router | Vue Router | Built-in |
| State Management | Context, Redux | Pinia, Vuex | Context API |
| Learning Curve | Moderate | Easy | Moderate |
| SSR Support | No | Partial (Nuxt) | Yes |
| Syntax | JSX | HTML-like | JSX |
UI Implementation Notes
- All frontend pages are styled using Tailwind CSS
- Modular layout using components (Hero, Features, Cards, CTA)
- Responsive behavior tested on mobile, tablet, and desktop
We've provided a simplified version of our design system with colors, typography, components, patterns, and examples to help kickstart the design of your app. Interested? Access the Figma UI kit here.
Accessibility & UX
- Semantic HTML with landmarks (
<main>,<section>,<footer>) - Color contrast verified with Lighthouse and WAVE tools
- Focusable elements and keyboard navigation enabled
- Button components with
aria-labelsupport

Summary
This section helps learners understand how modern frontend frameworks work. Through React, Vue, and Next.js, users gain insight into component-driven development, routing, and reactivity—all while interacting with a responsive, accessible UI powered by Tailwind.
