Goal: Have an easy to use design philosophy

Objectives:

*Easy and intuitive navigation from page to page. Navigation links should be in a common location from page to page. Navigation should model the usage of the application.

*Keep in mind the user should not see anything on a page that is redundant to another page or is information that is not 100% necessary to see while designing page layouts.

*Have a common navigation bar at the top of the website for commonly clicked on navigation and notifications. See the top of this github page for an example of that.

*When a user sees a new control or page there should be qtip messages to explain.

*Vertical scrolling should be kept to a minimum. Horizontal scrolling should never happen.

*If a control can contain a set list of options it always should.
