How to start?

I'm switching from OptimizePress, where I've become pretty proficient at building pages, despite being just an entrepreneur with no actual technical expertise.
My first task is to build a page using GP Premium that looks as close as possible to one that I built using OptimizePress. (here's the page https://solvingmetoo.com/) So I click on Page > New and get a screen that looks to me like a blog post and already I'm stumped.
Where do I start?? Where are the directions? I tried opening up a couple articles about elements, but it looks like I have to know CSS to make an element?
A half an hour of clicking through articles later, I'm just very overwhelmed and afraid that this is nowhere near as simple as I need it to be in order for it to work for me the way OptimizePress did. I'm hoping it's a lot easier than it seems, and I'm just missing something.
Hi there,
I highly suggest familiarizing with WordPress' default editor, Gutenberg.
Here's an actual demo of the Gutenberg UI - https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/
You then install GenerateBlocks to extend Gutenberg's functionality by adding more Layouting blocks.

I've checked your reference site and it definitely can be done with Gutenberg editor + GenerateBlock's Grid Block.
