Rewriting the cms project better

The story:

The reasons for the change was that the old cms was quite a bit of work, it was all over the place, but considering that I wrote that before and during the process of learning php, formally in school, and real life practice. The code was also written over a year ago and comments were non existant - I vow that it will be better from here on out.

SCSS vrs many CSS:

I am utilizing sass code to compile css to make the project more mainatnable vs many smaller files. I have included the base bootstrap framework in includes/scripts/scss/scss_includes/_bootstrap.scssthis will make implementing bootstrap 4.1.1 updatable to later versions, while still keeping the single css file. I am also including FontAwesome 5 Free in the css, just make sure to mot move the webfonts folder.

JS / JQUERY:

jquery-3.2.1.min.js will be the crux of the js files. The actiions on the website will be done much smoother using ajax to load and refresh pages. This will reduce jerky actions.

Database:

The previous version was a hardcoded database setup. This will likely be simular but will have more modification available to the users during installation. meaning use of a prefix, setting the name of the database they wish to use, (creating the database) or using one that already exists. The primary goal though will be to clean up the code.
