I'm a web designer with basic html knowledge
and have been checking out what Word Press
has to offer. I'm wondering how you would
launch a website from Wordpress?

Download and install the Wordpress package.

Some hosts also have the option of one-click install through their control panel, however, Wordpress is relatively easy to install.

I have it installed, sorry just in a rush when i typed the last post..I guess the right question to ask is, once built how do you change the domain of your site from wordpress/wp-admin to the sites' domain? I hope that makes sense...thanks.

If you own the domain the admin login should look like this: yoursite.com/wp-admin

Or .net, .org, etc. Either way that is how it should work, but my install was done through GoDaddy's install procedure so it could work differently.
