Ok, sorry, that’s what I was trying to get at. So then:

- Yes to adding basic text fields
- No to modifying the profile template to include imbedded functionality that would be visible on each person’s profile

For the latter, is this not possible _period_? Or is it just not simple like adding custom fields?

What I’m asking is: Could I hire someone to add this scheduling, review, etc functionality to the profile “theme”?
