Just got this reply on a test domain I set up to see if I can duplicate the problem and I did. There are no images or styling on this site.

Thank you for your patience.
After conducting thorough tests on ronaldc64.sg-host.com, I want to assure you that the issue is not related to SiteGround’s WordPress installer. The root cause appears to be how the default WordPress editor (Gutenberg) and block-based themes interact, specifically with the application of your theme’s styles.
When inspecting the site through the browser’s developer tools while editing, I noticed that both your theme’s style.css (/wp-content/themes/eco-green/style.css?ver=6.7.1) and the default WordPress styles (/wp-includes/css/dist/block-editor/style.min.css?ver=6.7.1) are being applied. However, the default editor styles are taking precedence over the theme’s CSS, which is why you’re not seeing the theme styles in the design while editing.
To clarify, I’ve found several discussions in WordPress forums, where the suggested solutions often involve creating a child theme and explicitly enqueuing the theme’s style.css file within the block editor. You can refer to this thread for further context: StackOverflow – style.css not applying on WordPress theme?
That said, a simpler solution I’ve tested would be to use a page builder plugin such as Elementor or OtterBuilder. With these plugins, I’ve confirmed that the theme’s style.css loads correctly in the editor, allowing you to edit your pages with the theme styles properly applied.
I hope this helps to clarify the issue. Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions or need assistance with anything else.
