you never have done any typoscript?
you may use typo3 just using predefined templates, but then you never can 
use the full variety TYPO3 is giving you, as you never learn to  
understand how TYPO3 is working.

example:
You don't need to assign templates for each page, as they are inherited 
to sub-pages.

you / they may learn a little bit more about TYPO3 than how to copy the 
archive and expand it on a webserver. Hm, probably you haven't done this 
either. you probably get a ready TYPO3-account and think that your 
webpage just needs some content.
TYPO3 needs more!
If you are not willing to learn typoscript for an individual TYPO3-using 
(or pay someone who will do it for you) you use the wrong CMS. Try to get 
another CMS.

TYPO3 is like driving a car: it is no taxi, where you only need to say 
your target. For TYPO3 you have to learn like for a 'driving-license'. 
TYPO3 has a lot of switches and steering-wheels - more than a car (some 
say it is like a big plane with hundreds of switches)
