Web Component Solutions: A Comparison
“Don’t repeat yourself.” Every programmer has this concept drilled into their head when first learning to code. Any time you have code you find yourself duplicating in several places, it’s time to abstract that code away into a class or a function. But how does this apply to user interfaces? How do you avoid re-writing the same HTML and CSS over and over again?
If you’re using a UI framework like Angular or a UI library like React, the answer is simple: you build a component. Components are bits of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript put together in a way that they can be easily reused.
But what if you’re not using Angular, React, Vue, or whatever else is the latest and greatest new JavaScript framework? What if you’re writing plain vanilla HTML, CSS, and JavaScript? Or what if you want to write a component that is framework-agnostic and can be used in any web app regardless of what it’s written in?

Evolution in Web Design: A Case Study of 25 Years - Prismetric
The term web design simply encompasses a design process related to the front-end design of website that includes writing mark-up. Creative web design has a considerable impact on your perceived business credibility and quality. It taps onto the broader scopes of web development services.
Web designing is identified as a critical factor for the success of websites and eCommerce. The internet has completely changed the way businesses and brands operate. Web design and web development go hand-in-hand and the need for a professional web design and development company, offering a blend of creative designs and user-centric elements at an affordable rate, is growing at a significant rate.
In this blog, we have focused on the different areas of designing a website that covers all the trends, tools, and techniques coming up with time.
Web design
In 2020 itself, the number of smartphone users across the globe stands at 6.95 billion, with experts suggesting a high rise of 17.75 billion by 2024. On the other hand, the percentage of Gen Z web and internet users worldwide is up to 98%. This is not just a huge market but a ginormous one to boost your business and grow your presence online.
Web Design History
At a huge particle physics laboratory, CERN in Switzerland, the son of computer scientist Barner Lee published the first-ever website on August 6, 1991. He is not only the first web designer but also the creator of HTML (HyperText Markup Language). The worldwide web persisted and after two years, the world’s first search engine was born. This was just the beginning.
Evolution of Web Design over the years
With the release of the Internet web browser and Windows 95 in 1995, most trading companies at that time saw innumerable possibilities of instant worldwide information and public sharing of websites to increase their sales. This led to the prospect of eCommerce and worldwide group communications.
The next few years saw a soaring launch of the now-so-famous websites such as Yahoo, Amazon, eBay, Google, and substantially more. In 2004, by the time Facebook was launched, there were more than 50 million websites online.
Then came the era of Google, the ruler of all search engines introducing us to search engine optimization (SEO) and businesses sought their ways to improve their ranks. The world turned more towards mobile web experiences and responsive mobile-friendly web designs became requisite.
Let’s take a deep look at the evolution of illustrious brands to have a profound understanding of web design.
Here is a retrospection of a few widely acclaimed brands over the years.
Netflix
From a simple idea of renting DVDs online to a multi-billion-dollar business, saying that Netflix has come a long way is an understatement. A company that has sent shockwaves across Hollywood in the form of content delivery. Abundantly, Netflix (NFLX) is responsible for the rise in streaming services across 190 countries and meaningful changes in the entertainment industry.
1997-2000
The idea of Netflix was born when Reed Hastings and Marc Randolph decided to rent DVDs by mail. With 925 titles and a pay-per-rental model, Netflix.com debuts the first DVD rental and sales site with all novel features. It offered unlimited rentals without due dates or monthly rental limitations with a personalized movie recommendation system.

2001-2005
Announcing its initial public offering (IPO) under the NASDAQ ticker NFLX, Netflix reached over 1 million subscribers in the United States by introducing a profile feature in their influential website design along with a free trial allowing members to create lists and rate their favorite movies. The user experience was quite engaging with the categorization of content, recommendations based on history, search engine, and a queue of movies to watch.

2006-2010
They then unleashed streaming and partnering with electronic brands such as blu-ray, Xbox, and set-top boxes so that users can watch series and films straight away. Later in 2010, they also launched their sophisticated website on mobile devices with its iconic red and black themed background.

2011-2015
In 2013, an eye-tracking test revealed that the users didn’t focus on the details of the movie or show in the existing interface and were perplexed with the flow of information. Hence, the professional web designers simply shifted the text from the right side to the top of the screen. With Daredevil, an audio description feature was also launched for the visually impaired ones.
Netflix 2011-2015
2016-2020
These years, Netflix came with a plethora of new features for their modern website design such as AutoPay, snippets of trailers, recommendations categorized by genre, percentage based on user experience, upcoming shows, top 10 lists, etc. These web application features yielded better results in visual hierarchy and flow of information across the website.
Netflix 2016-2020
2021
With a sleek logo in their iconic red N, timeless black background with a ‘Watch anywhere, Cancel anytime’ the color, the combination, the statement, and the leading ott platform for top video streaming service Netflix has overgrown into a revolutionary lifestyle of Netflix and Chill.

Web Components
Enter web components. Web components allow you to create custom elements with encapsulated functionality that can be reused anywhere. They’re created using templates and slots and are defined in the shadow DOM, which isolates your element’s styles and scripts from the rest of the DOM to avoid collisions.
Web components can be built using the native browser APIs provided by most major browsers, or they can be created using what are called web component libraries: solutions that serve as an abstraction on top of the browser APIs to help make writing web components easier.
In this article, we’ll compare a few different web component solutions: native web components, Svelte, Stencil, LitELement, and Lightning Web Components (LWC).
The Criteria
In evaluating these solutions, it’s helpful to have a defined set of criteria. We’ll look at each solution while keeping an eye out for the following:
- year released
- popularity
- license
- syntax style (declarative vs. imperative)
- compiler or runtime required
- browser support
- testing strategy
- quality of documentation
- relative bundle size
Native Web Components
Let’s first start with native web components — that is, web components built using the browser APIs and no additional frameworks or libraries.
Web components were first introduced in 2011. As with every new technology, web browsers needed time to catch up and implement the new proposed APIs and standards, so web components took a while to gain traction. Today, web components are supported in most evergreen browsers. Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Opera all support web components. Safari provides partial support. In Internet Explorer, web components are not supported (surprise, surprise).
Since this is native web functionality we’re talking about, the documentation is excellent. You can find resources on MDN for specifications and tutorials on how to build and implement web components.
Another pro of using vanilla web components is you don’t need to introduce another library, compiler, runtime, or any other build tools. Web components just work (as long as the browser supports them).

[Part 2]: Using Lightning Web Components to Create Progressive Web Apps
When a server sends a push notification to a subscribed user, it needs to authenticate itself as the same server to which the user subscribed. To do this, there is an entire spec (called the VAPID spec) that dictates how this authentication works. Fortunately for us, the web-push package helps to abstract away most of these low-level details.
The one thing we do need to do, however, is generate a VAPID public/private key pair, and store it in a .env file so we can access those keys as environment variables.
