I would recommend working on fake sites you come up with. It will give you the practice of working by yourself, and you aren't just copying code.

I would say what i do to re-make the site from the treehouse tutorialas , basically re-do it like 3 times without looking, and practice it, you will allways have a cheat sheet there.

After the 3 times, practice another 3 times, but now just copy other sites, with lots of functionality and you should be ok, Have a grownth mindset, dont get ur self a fixed one, its hard, but with hard wokr you will get over it .

Like Caleb sais, just make fake sites and practice.

Set your self objectives. Master CSS best practices, and give good names, and then JS u know ..

What? xd do whatever site you like but dont copy and paste, dont even look at the code . Just do as much as you can, and after 10 minutes beeing stuck , look at the code : p you need to learn and develop solving problems as well as making your neurons stronger , but if you copy and paste, they wont get any stronger.

Just do this:

I want a website thats a for food selling and i want all to by dynamic, carousel, tabs , modal all.

I want it to work on mobile and desktop and want the code to be effective . Meaning best pracices.

I dont know, hope this helps.
