Google Webmaster isn't required to get your site into their search results since Google has many ways of finding new websites though dns and name servers. However submitting a sitemap to Google 'MAY' speed up the process but new sites normally take 2-4 weeks to appear into the search results and even then they can end up in a 'sandbox effect' which can further the delay. Additionally you can submit the site using Google's Add URL page but again... This doesn't necessary speed up the process, The site is new and Google will get around to the site in question when it has resources free to do so.

Your first point of call should be check the site and ensuring Google can index it, common reasons are normally:


Time (wait 2-4 weeks, Google isn't real time for new sites and takes a while).
robots.txt is blocking Google
noindex is used somewhere within the HTML


Additionally this question has been asked over and over and I recommend you check out Why isn't my website in Google search results? which should give you many other answers to the ones I have provided.
