When back-end technologies help applications to perform smoothly, front-end technologies help the app to engage more with the user. If the app is not visually appealing, users will not be driven, and that’s why front-end technologies are the main part of the application.

Front-end technology is used for enhancing the appearance of your app interface. Thus, front-end developers have a responsibility to deliver the best UI UX design. On whole, it comprises a lot like website performance, speed time, accessibility, and more.

Basic and Important Front-end Technologies

Before diving into the new front-end technologies, let’s discuss the basic technologies that is always the base of all tech stack- HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and BootStrap

1. HTML and CSS

HTML- HyperText Markup Language, CSS- Cascading Style Sheet

As we know HTML and CSS are the basic and prior tech stack for the front-end web development process. It is the first technology to use to arrange the text and other designs in order with visually appealing styles and colors.

From basic texts to audios, videos, and images, all contents are designed accordingly; so, HTML and CSS are always essential technology for web development project.

2. JavaScript (JS)

Added with HTML and CSS, JavaScript is another basic and prior technology for front-end development. To make the basic HTML and CSS designs functional and enrich static design into dynamic features, JavaScript is considered to be the second tech in this list.

Therefore, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are always irreplaceable & combo tech for every web development.

3. Bootstrap

Bootstrap, a CSS framework is famous for its design templates like buttons, forms, styles, along with icons and themes.

As a complete toolkit package, Bootstrap becomes handy to enrich the UI designs and helps the app with ease and speed.

So, this completely equipped front-end framework is mainly designed for mobile devices but developers expand it to work on web platforms.

Here are some of the top front-end technologies that you can consider before developing your web application.

Five Best Front-end Technologies:

1. React

Developed by Facebook, React (or) ReactJS is the most popular JavaScript library for front-end development as it is used for designing UI (User Interface) components.

React follows the model-view-controller (MVC) architecture, where the presentation layer is representing the view part and is separated from the data accessing layer which represents the model. The controller takes responsibility to push user input to view and model and helps with user interaction.

2. ReactJS and React Native

Also created by the Facebook team, React Native is also an open-source framework for the UI UX process. Though, React Native is used to designing the front-end of mobile applications (for both Android and iOS), it has great potential.

With code reusability, fast refresh features, and others, React Native is mainly for developing hybrid apps.

Facebook, Whatsapp, Instagram, AirBnb, are some of the top and popular applications that you can take as example for ReactJS technology.

3. Angular

Angular is another popular front-end framework based on TypeScript. Instead of the MVC pattern, Angular follows the MVVM (model-view-viewmodel) architecture. Since the controller is not in the pattern, viewmodel is in charge of both model and view as the model sends notifications, the view is taking care of the view part.

The great advantage of Angular is, it can be used in both web and mobile platform applications. Angular helps developers to create amazing UI views and make them more productive.

Developed by Google, Angular is used in Gmail app. PayPal, UpWork, Netflix are some other app examples for Angular.

4. Ionic

As an open-source SDK, Ionic is used for developing hybrid mobile application. By integrating with front-end technologies like Angular, React, Vue and with the support of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, Ionic is mainly used for user-interface process. Ionic applications are cross-platform app that means it is a simple web app and also support native app feature.

Pacifica, Sworkit, Diesel are some of the Ionic apps that you can take as example for your project.

5. VueJs

Another open-source front-end framework that follows MVVM (model-view-viewmodel) pattern is Vue.js. Based on JavaScript, Vue.js is the best choice for building user interfaces and single page applications.

It helps developer to complete the small projects quickly and simple to scale upwards. With HTML extensions and JS base, Vue.js is having an advantage of supporting both desktop and mobile applications.

Habitica, Teleo, Font Awesome are some of the app built with Vue.js.

6. Flutter

The last open-source SDK and front-end technology in this list is Flutter. Developed by Google and its community, Flutter is used for creating cross platform applications for Android, iOS, Windows, and more.

Flutter makes developers’ work easy by reducing the code development time. With ready-t-use widgets of Flutter, developers also save more time in developing the application.

Google Ads, Reflectly, and Hamilton are some of the applications that use Flutter technology.

These are the most-used front-end development technologies that you can implement in your application.
