Help

Just trying to create a site that allows users to create a listing about themselves and have this listing come up in a search. Plain and simple (for now). Need to customize the listing form. I see bits and pieces of doing this in DP but I’m about to abandon DP to something that would seem more logical in its creation. Tutorials, if they work or found are of little help. Knowledgebase, absent. I am not a developer, but have created websites before. Thought this would be more intuitive. Any assistance would be of great value. Thanks
