SharePoint Designer mainly used for some customization to your sharepoint site (like master page  create a web part page basic workflows for sharepoint etc.) For creating sharepoint sites you need to install SharePoint Server 2010 (this is paid version - you can try out six months trial ) or SharePoint Foundation 2010 free version of SharePoint. Then you need to create sites using Central Administration site configured after SP installation . Thanks Manesh

Hi Manesh Thank you for taking time for helping. I did the steps but it's asking me to have SP Foundation server in order to create a Website. Thanks..
