There are a lot of skills that go into "Graphic Design" that don't include drawing. Drawing is a skill that let's you work with other graphic design skills.

If you have Photoshop or similar design software a good way of learning website design is to recreate other professional sites out there. Really try and think about what they are doing and how they are doing it as you're recreating. Such as why a certain colour here but a contrasting colour here? Eventually you will get a knack for what is good design and apply it to your own. Here is an excellent video that goes into more detail.
