Template for Ezine / Online Magazine

I am building a site with the primary purpose of being an online magazine / ezine with fee-based services (email / online training and some premium consulting). 

Question 1: Currently experimenting with SKYE but would like input on other potential templates. I really like the design / layout of this site (not mine) but it's probably not a squarespace template: https://bittersweetmonthly.com/.

Question 2: If I do use SKYE right now I can't figure out how to put a headline on the HOME page below the header and above the templated /text-image boxes.  I've tried but there is no INSERTION button to bring up the menu of content types. 

THANK YOU for any suggestions on either question!
