Toasted Buns blog & podcast
A statically generated SEO friendly website that hosts the weekly podcast ToastedBuns, the site also shows blog posts created by my friend Peter
Goal
Myself and my friend Peter decided to start a podcast for fun every Sunday evening so I can took on the task of creating a website for it.
The website should allow users to:
- Read all blog posts.
- Listen to all the episodes of our podcast.
- Browse blog posts and podcast by category (tags).
- Find all our social media links.
- Subscribe to our newsletter.
- Watch our Youtube videos.
Method
ToastedBuns does not need a database or any user login/register functionality, just some way of storing the blog posts and the podcast sound files.
It being a blog made focusing on SEO a priority, therefore choosing a solution that optimises for SEO and crawlability was paramount.
However, having it still be an SPA would make its UX much more seamless.
A solution that covered both was to implement a statically generated single page application. Said application must address meta tags, keywords, page load speed and all the other SEO checklist points.
