No, it's not possible to learn to design "awesome professional websites" in "no time." It takes years of practice and study and requires a sound understanding of traditional design theory, color theory, UI principles, and interactivity principles to create top-tier websites.





However, if you do need to learn to make sites quickly, it is possible to get good enough to not embarrass yourself. I recommend the following books:





Web Design in a Nutshell

The Principles of Beautiful Web Design

The HTML, XHTML and CSS Bible

Reply:Web Design In A Nutshell (A Desktop Quick Reference) by Jennifer Niederst - see www.oreilly.com or most Borders Bookstores
Reply:Even easier, get the free SeaMonkey program (Mozilla), which generates the HTML code for you.


Then you can look at the source code it generated, making it a great learning tool as well.
