Does accessibility work with JavaScript frameworks?

Yes, React, Vue, Angular and Svelte are fully compatible with accessible development. A framework is neither an obstacle nor an automatic solution, what matters is the implementation. Static content usually works fine; the typical stumbling blocks arise from the dynamics of modern single-page applications.

Three areas need particular attention: focus management during client-side routing (focus must be set sensibly after a page change), the announcement of dynamic content via ARIA live regions, and the correct semantics of self-built components. If these points are ignored, keyboard and screen reader users experience markedly worse operation.

With proven patterns, tested component libraries and automated tests in the build process, these challenges can be reliably addressed. Details on our accessible web development page.
