Website Design encompasses both artistic and technical skills. It takes time to master all aspects of website design, but if you just want to start, there are many tutorials available online. Most tutorials your will find online though are not very helpful. Design is primarily a form of art, so once you have the concepts down, the web is your canvas.
I suggest looking at other people's work. Not just any work, if you're just starting off, it is better if you look at xHTML and CSS valid templates. You can only break the rules after you master them. I have found a great site with xHTML templates that you can look at, download, and even use in your own projects. They are all xHTML(4) valid, so they are great examples of what you can do with the skills you must master. the site is located at http://andreasviklund.com/templates/ .
To learn all the elements, or if you have questions, take a look at W3Schools as linked in a previous post. This reference guide was written by the people who make the standards for the web. With that in mind, have fun learning!
