You're using the sample template, which is fine, but you'll need to edit it to your liking in Layout > Design Manager. If you're not comfortable editing html/css/Smarty, you may wish to consult with a web developer to get your site set up the way you like it, then you can manage the content via Content Manager.

Thank you for your response. I've been doing Web Sites for a couple of decades now. I find that your idea of made easy differs from mine. I took one look at the index.php file and shut the whole system down.

The index.php shouldn't be edited. Like any other content management system, this file is for compiling your content with your templates. The simplicity comes in the separation of content from design - the content editor has a simple page editor, while the developer has a powerful templating system. It's not the perfect solution for everyone, but I think judging a cms by its index.php file might not be the best way to find the right one for you.
