Choosing a Website Platform: WordPress, Builders or Static Sites
WordPress, hosted website builders or a static site? A plain comparison to help small businesses choose.
Practical guides and articles on SEO, content, social media and websites, written for small business owners, freelancers and curious beginners.

Most small businesses know they should be doing something online, but the advice out there is often vague, contradictory or written to sell a service. Task Taste takes a different approach. We are an independent blog, not an agency, so our only job is to explain how digital marketing actually works.
You will find guides to the core areas: how search engine optimisation works and how to audit your own site, how to plan content marketing and social media content you can keep up with, how lead generation turns visitors into enquiries, and what makes a website design work for the people using it. The blog adds shorter, practical articles on topics such as keyword research, page titles, internal links, email marketing and the way search results are changing.
Everything is written in plain English, with realistic expectations. There are no guaranteed rankings here and no secret formulas, just the fundamentals that tend to hold up over time. If you are comparing agencies, our guide to how SEO pricing works explains what you are paying for and which questions to ask.

The search fundamentals that still work: research, on-page basics, technical health and earning links honestly.

How to plan, write and share content that answers real questions and brings in the right visitors.

Structure, speed, mobile layout and accessibility: the basics that make a website easy to use.

Long before this blog, tasktaste.com hosted a public tracker that followed the open-source image editor GIMP on its long road to version 2.8. Many people still arrive through those old links, so we wrote an independent article about that release: GIMP 2.8, the long road to a landmark release.
