I want to create something like a "Freelancers for Hire" directory, where users can
1. Create a user profile
2. Upload an image of themselves
3. Complete a few (custom) fields about their specialty
4. Be able to log in and edit all this information

... and then have all those user profiles available as publicly searchable, sortable, filtered view.

I understand that ToolSet has "Post Forms".
I understand that ToolSet has "User Forms"

Can I do everything by just creating a "User Form"?
If so, how can I create the custom fields for the user profile and store those to the database?

Or is there a different strategy to accomplish this?

Some general advice to get started would be appreciated.

I think I've found the solution to this.

It is to use "User forms" and in the ToolSet "Custom Fields" menu, it is possible to create the additional custom fields I need for the profiles.
