SECTION V. Web Publications Conventions
D1. File Management and Naming
STANDARDS:
1. All web site images and documents will reside in “images” and “documents” folders. Images will not exceed 300Kb, and documents will not exceed 5Mb.
Explanation:
For organization, it is easier to manage a web site if images and documents are located in designated folders separate from a site’s web pages. Additionally, organizing images and documents in folders grants the UWRF Web Development Office easier access to these documents for university-wide management purposes. Images should be reduced in size to the actual size that will be displayed on the page, which will be no larger than 300Kb each. Documents larger that 5Mb consume campus bandwidth and should be avoided.
2. All old web pages and documents that are no longer linked from a UWRF institutional web site must be removed. Those files may be backed up on disk.
Explanation:
The campus search engine and non-UWRF search engines index old pages, and if those pages continue to exist on the web server, then it is likely that users will inadvertently view those pages with old information. Additionally, old pages and documents consume resources.
