Basic Best Practice

• Images: Within your site there is a "files" folder and within that folder there is a "images" folder. This is where all images(.jpg, .gif, .png files) will be stored. To help keep things organized, it is encouraged to create new folders within the "images" folder.
• Documents: Within your site there is a "files" folder and within that folder there is a "docs" folder. This is where all documents(.doc, .docx, .pdf, .xsl, xslx and all other document files format) will be stored. To help keep organized, it is encouraged to create new folders within the "docs" folder.
• Publishing: After editing your page, publish to the test server first. Review the changes made on the test page before publishing to the production server.
• Naming Convention: Use short descriptive word(s) and only use lower case and hyphen to separate words for system files.
• New Pages: Any new content should be given a unique title tag and meta description when it launches.
