Well, I can't speak for gurus, but the way I do it:
Each site or sub-site gets its own set of standard sub-directories,
forming a self-contained set of documents and support files.
Common

Someone who posts controversial or provocative messages in a deliberate
attempt to provoke flames. Normally young and male, as surprising as that

For images, styles and scripts these days I recommend using
/images/
/style/
/script/
When I initially built my own site, I put all of these under a /lib/

/index.html <-- rinse and repeat as needed or process server side.

/ui/ <-- everything in here, or split into the following if required:
/ui/tpl/ <-- templates includes
/ui/img/ <-- self explanatory
