  Hi, why don’t you allow the site to be created first, at any level, and then ask for payment depending on what level of a site has been created. I have been able to fully edit a Wix Template first, before having to pay for the type of site i wish to use. I do not want to pay for the premium site until i am happy with the options provided to me. Right now i am having a hard to editing the free version… i want to use WordPress intead of Wix, but i must say their edit options are much easier, and they provide a big selection of images to be used in media library. It seems you don’t provide free images?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Unless you have a Business upgrade for a site, the only themes we can use on WordPress.COM hosted sites are here https://wordpress.com/themes/

  The way your theme is designed to function and the features it has are found at the detailed description page, for example at https://wordpress.com/theme/twentysixteen and that’s where the live demo site link is also found. We cannot change how any theme functions. We can do some CSS editing to change appearance only if we have the required upgrade.

  WordPress.COM is a multi user blogging platform with off the shelf themes and it’s aimed for use by those who do not code. Each theme is uniquely designed. We wordpress.com bloggers do not have access to the template files underlying our themes and we cannot edit them, as our blogs share a common architecture, and as all blogs wearing the same theme use the same underlying template, found on the live demo site for each theme.

  Does Customize let me edit HTML?
  No. Customize allows you to edit fonts, colors, and CSS only. You can change the appearance of a theme, but not its HTML markup or PHP code. If you require this functionality, please consider moving your blog to a web host that supports theme code modifications. You can read more about why here http://support.wordpress.com/code/, and find a suitable host here http://get.wp.com/hosting/.

  Note 2: You can also post there prior to purchasing an upgrade to get an answer to whether or not what you want to do can be accomplished via CSS editing.
