  Have you had a chance to follow the steps mentioned in the Front Page Template section (under the image) of Sela theme support document that you linked at:
  https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/sela/

  It would be good if you can enable Sela theme on your site and follow the above steps to set the Front Page Template. After you do this, let me know what is not complete so I can try to help you.

  You need to assign the Front Page template to your homepage instead of the Full-Width template. Once you do that, things should start to make more sense and look more like the demo. :)

  You can add testimonials here:

  https://makingzoe.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=jetpack-testimonial

  You can add widgets to the three front-page widget areas either in the WP Admin widget area here:

  https://makingzoe.wordpress.com/wp-admin/widgets.php

  Or in the Customizer’s widgets panel.

  Let me know how it goes.

  Looks like you have figured how to add images to the three front page widgets.
