Folder structure and naming
Folder structure
The elements of a section are:
- index.html
- img folder
- docs folder
- lib folder
- includes folder
- js folder (if necessary)
- asp folder (if necessary)
- sub section folders
- index.html
- img folder
- docs folder
If there are images used on more than one page, they should be placed in an img folder farther up in the hierarchy.
Folder and file naming
Names should mean something, both to people and search engines
- Yes: soft-organic-bedding-surfaces
- No: DE5241
Use hyphens between words
- Yes: dairy-days
- No: DairyDays, dairy_days, dairy days, dairy.days
Use all lower-case
- Yes: bev-durgan-wins-award
- No: Bev-Durgan-Wins-Award
When reasonable, use the full page title
Some of our titles are not conducive to this, so also call upon your judgment.
- Yes: the-right-person-for-the-right-job
- No: right-person-right-job
It is OK to leave out repeating words if including them is unnecessarily repetitive
- Example: it is OK to use dairy/organic/ rather than dairy/organic-dairying/
Page title and breadcrumbs
Proper document title
The text for the title, breadcrumbs, h1, and left nav item should all be the same.
Proper title and breadcrumb structure
The breadcrumbs should be a reverse of the title tag contents.
