Firmlink Project

Firmlink is a Django-based platform that allows users to sign up and log in as either customers or companies. The project includes role-based authentication, custom user management, and email-based login, with a focus on flexibility and scalability.

Features

• Role-based User Authentication: Users can register as either customers or companies.
• Custom User Model: The project uses a custom User model that extends Django's AbstractUser to handle email-based login and custom user roles.
• User Registration: Separate forms and views for customer and company sign-ups.
• Email Login: The login system authenticates users via email instead of the default username.
• Company and Customer Profiles: Customers have a birthdate, and companies have a field of service and rating.
