looking for a theme
-
I’d like to create a simple site that has a logo at the top (custom header), and allows menu options across the top and a large initial image. I’d like a clean home page and then simple navigation pages that provide clear information with room for an image and quotes. I’d like the site to be responsive and work on phones/tablets. I do not want to use the site as a blog.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

There are 42 free responsive layout themes that meet your criteria. https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/responsive-layout+custom-header+site-logo/?sort=free
There are 29 premium paid themes too https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/responsive-layout+custom-header+site-logo/?sort=premium
The mobile ready theme is a default theme and a completely different theme that you do not need to enable, if your theme is listed as a responsive layout theme here https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/responsive-layout/
The mobile default theme is provided for those who run older themes that aren’t the gold standard which is responsive layout.
A responsive layout theme adapts to different screen sizes so that your website will work (and be optimized for) iPhones, iPads, Android and other mobile devices. When responsive width themes are viewed on mobiles sidebars appear below the posts in order to provide as much space as possible for reading.
When we use a responsive theme we disable the mobile theme. Go to > Appearance > Mobile and disable the mobile theme

https://en.support.wordpress.com/site-logo/A blog is a website. The difference between blog and website is simply structure and semantics.
A blog is a post based website designed for interactive communication. As the posts are frequently updated and appear on the front page of the site it’s very attractive to search engines.
What most people call a website is merely a page based site that functions as a one-way noticeboard. As the structure is page based and as pages are for static content that rarely changes, and as pages do not have RSS feeds, and as others do not backlink to pages, it is not as attractive to search engines as a post based blog structured site is.
Any WordPress blog can be restructured from being post based to being page based – no upgrade required. For greater clarity read > http://en.support.wordpress.com/using-wordpress-to-create-a-website/
