Implementation Roadmap (PLAN.md)

Target Domain: soundtext.github.io
Goal: Build a high-performance, non-cannibalizing Jekyll web application implementing the compact 11-page architecture outlined in BLUEPRINT.md.

1. Executive Summary

  • Core Feature: The interactive Sound of Text Engine (_includes/tts.html), allowing fast client-side text-to-speech audio generation, inline playback, and MP3 download.
  • Architecture: 6 Core Tool & SEO Pages + 5 Legal/Trust Pages (11 Pages Total).
  • SEO Strategy: Homepage (/) serves as the Master Brand Pillar for “Sound of Text”, eliminating internal cannibalization with a /sound-of-text/ URL.

    P5 --> P6[Phase 6: Build & Audit]

Phase 1: Foundation & Layout Infrastructure

  1. Ensure _config.yml has permalink format /:name/ and url set to https://soundtext.github.io.
  2. Create layout silo_pillar.html for main topic hubs (/text-to-speech/, /text-to-sound/, /female-voice/, /male-voice/).
  3. Create layout silo_child.html for specialized use-case pages (/sound-of-text-whatsapp/), automatically inserting breadcrumbs and homepage (/) backlinks.

Phase 2: Modular Sound of Text Engine (_includes/tts.html)

  1. Configure tts.html to accept page front-matter variables:
    • page.tts_preset_text: Initial prompt text.
    • page.tts_default_voice: Default pre-selected voice.
    • page.tts_gender_filter: Preset filter (female or male).
  2. Verify audio playback, instant voice search, and direct MP3 download button.

Phase 3: Page Generation (11 Pages)

Core Tool & SEO Pages (6 Pages)

  • /index.html — Homepage & Master Sound of Text Pillar.
  • /sound-of-text-whatsapp/ — WhatsApp Voice Generator.
  • /text-to-speech/ — Text to Speech Master Pillar.
  • /text-to-sound/ — Text to Sound Creator.
  • /female-voice/ — Female Voice Synthesis Hub.
  • /male-voice/ — Male Voice Synthesis Hub.

Legal & Trust Pages (5 Pages)

  • /about/ — Author credentials & technical methodology (_pages/author.md).
  • /contact/ — Contact support form (_pages/contact.md).
  • /privacy-policy/ — Privacy & zero data retention policy (_pages/privacypolicy.md).
  • /terms/ — Terms of Service (_pages/terms.md).
  • /disclaimer/ — Disclaimer (_pages/disclaimer.md).

Phase 4: Internal Linking & Navigation

  1. Standardize header navigation to point to the main tool pillars (/text-to-speech/, /text-to-sound/, /female-voice/, /male-voice/).
  2. Standardize footer navigation to display all legal and trust pages.
  3. Ensure /sound-of-text-whatsapp/ links directly back to /.

Phase 5: Technical SEO & Schema

  1. Add WebApplication JSON-LD schema dynamically to pages with the TTS tool.
  2. Verify canonical URLs target https://soundtext.github.io.
  3. Check sitemap.xml and robots.txt configuration.

Phase 6: Build Verification & QA

  1. Test Jekyll local build (bundle exec jekyll build).
  2. Validate TTS audio generation and MP3 downloads.
  3. Perform mobile responsiveness & Lighthouse audits.
