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:

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.
