Hello, does anyone have any ideas on how I can design awesome looking websites without a designer, as I can't afford one at the moment.

You can use ready well designed WordPress Themes for example here: http://themeforest.net/category/wordpress

There are many open source programs, you just need to look around. All of which have roughly the same features as the big players have.

Thank you, it is not the fact of using the software I have that. I can't find any inspiration on how to create designs as I am not a designer.

You need to learn how to design just like you are learning to program.
