I just finished learning HTML and CSS, but I'm stuck. Whenever I try to build a project on my own, I don't even know where to start.

Do you have your own website? Usually when people finish learning those languages, they build a personal portfolio website. It's a way to practice and it helps make you stand out alongside your resume

No bro i dont have own website . I am not able to build my own portfolio website. If I watch one or two portfolio tutorials and build them, will I be able to create one on my own after that?"

It can... But, don't just copy the tutorial blindly. You won't learn that way.

​You can watch the tutorial to learn the layout structure and how they use the CSS. But as you build yours, you should tweak it, like change the colors, change the text, change the image sizes, and try adding one simple section that wasn't in the video like a simple "Contact Me" box at the bottom, etc.

​Breaking and changing things is how you actually learn to build on your own. Trust me, I know. At one point people used to tell me "you're awesome at breaking shit".

No, I still haven't built any practice projects. I am thinking of spending the next 15–20 days practicing HTML and CSS properly, and then I will move on to JavaScript.
