Should pages, images and documents follow a specific naming convention?

Question:
Should pages, images and documents follow a specific naming convention?
Answer:

You should follow best web practice.

  • Give files recognisable names (this helps with search engine optimisation) that are short while still retaining meaning
  • Do not use spaces in a filename (eg undergrad study.aspx) - use hyphens instead
  • Do not use full stops (eg undergrad.study.aspx)
  • Do not use any character that isn't a letter, number, dash or underscore (eg % ,*)
