As you know, Django comes with a user model that has certain properties — name, last name, email, password, etc. While these fields save the day in most cases, sometimes they're not enough. Depending on the project you're building, users may need to have more properties. That's what we'll achieve by extending the user model.

In this post, instead of writing CSS for the page design, I'll use a front-end framework called Uikit. The code I use here comes from a project called Eatingword that I'm developing to keep my Django skills fresh and learn new things.
