Oh no, you're not the only one! Yes, Zen is powerful, yes it is flexible, but it is NOT a cart for beginners or those not willing to learn a bit of PHP or CSS.
Zen is aimed at technical people - not saying it can't be done, but you're looking at several full days before you even get the idea of over-rides, which are
incredibly convoluted. If you value your time, you may wish to consider asking in the commercial help section.
HOWEVER!!! There are already some templates in the downloads area, and I think
this one is a great place for beginners to start. Or you may even find a couple of the templates in the download area to your liking.
You might also want to try switching from "classic" to "default" template. The "classic" look is there for historical reasons, but looks about as appealing as the idea of a third series of "Lost".
The rest, as Sermonzone says, is a question of reading.
