  Why is my layout so simple, white and lack of options, compared to other people who have black and more complicated sitebuilder layout. I find this confusing when building my website. Is it because Im using the free verision or because I have no server host yet?Please help me out

  Your detailed theme description page is at https://wordpress.com/themes/affinity/ and that’s where set up instructions for it are found. The live demo site is at https://affinitydemo.wordpress.com/

  You must be logged in under the exact same username that registered the site to be able to access the site. The Admin login link to the dashboard for every blog hosted by wordpress.COM is:

  http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

  Replace NAME_OF_BLOG in that URL with the actual name of your blog.

  If you are not logged in under the correct username account then clear your browser cache https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache and cookies https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-wordpress-com-cookies and then login correctly under the relevant username account.

  If the login information has been lost go to
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/passwords/
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/passwords/#lost-password

  If required use the account recovery form
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/account-recovery/
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/account-recovery/#account-recovery-form

  Assuming you can login note that on the bottom of your Admin page you will find a link to the step by step Learn WordPress.com blogging Tutorial prepared by Staff. http://learn.wordpress.com/

  WordPress.com has a number of different themes that you can choose from. A theme is what controls the appearance of your website.

  Take a look at the available themes at: https://wordpress.com/themes/

  You’ll notice that some of them have prices on them. Those are premium themes that are available for sale, but there’s quite a number of free themes as well.

  Here’s a page that shows you how to change the theme on your WordPress.com site: https://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/

  Hope this helps!
