I have created a FreeBSD droplet bearing IP address; 104.236.3.64 and the droplet instance is refusing to serve webpages. What might be wrong, and how could I remedy the issue?

You probably got the port 80 blocked, check your firewall:
- iptables -L
or if you got ufw
- ufw status
If you want us to help you more you need to give more information:
- Wich one-click install did you use?
- Do you have any error logs in nginx/apache2?
- What kind of application are you running? Have you got the server prerequisites for this app?
A pkg info dump would be nice to see what you got installed, afaik there’s no pre-made images for freebsd with a webserver installed.
What is the content of your /etc/rc.conf?
