This used to be the link to the EnergyPlus Example File Generator (EEFG) which was discontinued a long long time ago. I just removed that from the Getting Started documentation actually (cf PR#7666)
I suggest you head over to the Quickstart guide instead: https://energyplus.net/quickstart
The EnergyPlus example files are a great place to start too.
Several third party tools can help you build more specific energyplus models if that's what you need and the built-in IDF Editor isn't suiting your needs, such as BEOpt, OpenStudio, as well as other commercial software.

This question may help too: https://unmethours.com/question/1504/simplified-modeling-tools/, and though the answer is quite oudated one potential replacement candidate is Asset Score which allows you to create a simplified model online and retrieve a working OpenStudio Model (OSM) out of it: https://buildingenergyscore.energy.gov/
