Coucou-Christine overview

Website is built on WordPress, with a Hello Elementor theme and Elementor PRO visual builder. There is a login option for Administrators and Guests. Administrators are adding new guests manually. Guests receive an email a guest registration link and temporary password to access guest registration page. Guests need to fill in their information and will get an email for activation of their account. After this process they can access Property’s Need-to-Know page and SOS Call.
