 * Yes, a non-admin user can edit and their profile from a normal page on the front
   end.
 * You do not need the pro version for that.
 * You would:
    1. define (and configure) your fields the way you want them to look
   by dragging them into an edit area, then 2. drag them to a form on a different
   settings page. 3. place a shortcode on the page you want the profile form to 
   show like this [ user-meta type=’profile’ form=’yourformname’ ]
 * The pro version adds a bunch of fields and tabs to give more capabilities, but
   the basic stuff does work for free and you can override the css to make it look
   the way you want.
