Description
The latest version of Bootstrap in use by the user interfaces is v3.3.7 (major version 3). We should upgrade to the latest version on Bootstrap version 4. These can be pulled in via npm easily enough, but we have to look into whether there is any backward-incompatibilities and what styles, if any, need to be updated in the user interfaces.

There are many incompatibilities with Bootstrap 4, it's not really backwards compatible at all. Here's a migrating guide put out by the Bootstrap team on going from v3 to v4 - https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/migration/

I think we should consider updating the font for the client area to something like "Inter", see https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Inter?sidebar.open=true&selection.family=Inter We would want to download the font family and not link it from Google. The font face is a little cleaner.
Additionally, we should look at ways of improving the layout/design as we convert it over to Bootstrap v4. I may want to update some styles and colors.
