Homepage description
-
I am trying to customize my homepage; I would like to make the CTA Button an actual Click-to-Call Button. Meaning, when you press the button when you are on a mobile phone it will prompt you to call a phone number. I want to get rid of the text ‘Welcome to a WordPress Website’ and I’d like to put my Company Name or a Slogan there. I want to get rid of the social, sharing, and comment links that are underneath where it says ‘Featured Content’. I also want to omit the ‘add a video’ option from my homepage.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Every theme has a detailed theme description page. This one is at Every theme has a detailed theme description page. This one is at https://wordpress.com/theme/ixion and that’s where set up instructions for it and the live demo site link is found.
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/.

I want to get rid of the text Welcome to a WordPress Website
I did a Gateway tag search https://en.forums.wordpress.com/tags/gateway and read removing ‘Welcome to WordPress’ from home page: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/removing-welcome-to-wordpress-from-home-page?replies=2#post-2714303?
A google search will also result in the answer.
I’d like to put my Company Name or a Slogan there

Yikes I posted the wrong link above:
Every theme has a detailed theme description page. This one is at Every theme has a detailed theme description page. This one is at https://wordpress.com/theme/gateway and that’s where set up instructions for it and the live demo site link is found.
