Naming Assets (UC ANR)
When naming assets such as files, pages, directories and images for the Internet, it's important to use names that are both descriptive and easy to understand. This makes it easier for both humans and search engines to understand what the content is about. It's also very helpful when organizing folders of files and images on your computer as you prepare to upload to the website. Descriptive naming also helps make your website more accessible.
