ENHANCING WEB ACCESSIBILITY AND USER EXPERIENCE THROUGH REACTBASED FUNCTIONAL DESIGN
Abstract
The rapid evolution of web technologies has significantly influenced how users interact with digital platforms. Modern websites are expected to be fast, accessible, scalable, and userfriendly across multiple devices. React, a popular JavaScript library developed for building user interfaces, has gained widespread adoption due to its component-based architecture and efficient rendering mechanisms. This study examines how the implementation of React functionalities contributes to improving website accessibility and overall user experience. Using a qualitative and analytical research approach, the paper reviews existing literature and technical studies on React.js and evaluates its impact on usability, performance, maintainability, and accessibility compliance. The findings indicate that React’s virtual DOM, reusable components, and ecosystem support play a crucial role in enhancing interactive design, reducing load time, and improving accessibility standards such as ARIA integration. The study concludes that React-based functional design provides a robust solution for developing modern, accessible, and user-centric web applications.
