Hi there,
We attempt to auto-populate a theme based on the demo site’s settings after its activated on a WordPress.com site, which is why you’re experience may have been different over there.
Themes that are activated with hosts outside of WordPress.com do take some work to get set up to look like the demo site but I’ll be happy to help with any steps you need.
As a starting point, I recommend publishing a new page and assigning the Front Page Template to it. The template can be assigned via the dropdown menu in the Page Attributes module, which is found on the right hand of the page’s editor.
From there, navigate to Appearance > Customize in your admin area and select your newly published front page via the Static Front Page panel. You can then choose the pages you wish to display on your front page via the Theme Options panel.
Further steps for getting set up with Goran are detailed in its documentation:

As mentioned, we’re happy to help with questions that come up along the way too. Just post here! 🙂
