Wordpress is Impossible to use!!! Why???

[LaunchUp.com]

I purchased a wordpress template from themeForest for a portfolio site. I installed the theme successfully unto wordpress along with the required plugins. But when I preview the template/theme, it looks nothing like what I bought. I understand that it wouldn''t come with the pictures, etc but it still looks different, even when i added images. Why can't wordpress work simple like a website script, where you have an admin panel and when you add an image etc it falls into place and looks just like it was intended.

Wordpress is affordable, that's why i'm giving it a try.
Maybe I should use Godaddy website builder and drop stuff on a page..

I am going to have to find someone to sit down with me and guide through setting up a theme.

Is there anyone who can setup this theme for me to where all I have to do is add images/logos +info and it falls into place.

I was a big fan of TextPattern, it is way easier to work with than wordpress php based gibberish.
In TextPattern you don't have the visual allure of the admin area wordpress has achieved, but it's waaaaaaay more easy to use.
But I think it lost it's momentum and the community lost some key developers to other platforms.
One of these days I'll get back and give it a try.
There was this time they where neck a neck:

You need to hire WordPress professional developers to fix your problems you are facing. I personally hate theme forest because you have to compromise on quality. The best idea to create a reliable and better website is to hire professional web development agency.
