Finished learning basics of html and css. What next?

Pardon me if this is not allowed here, you can remove this if this is not allowed.

I’ve finished learning basics of HTML and CSS indvidually. I.e topic by topic w/o creating a project.
If you want to know the topics that I’ve learnt, I’ve learnt around everything contained in the book “learning web design by jennifer robbins”.
Now, I want to do some projects using only html and css. Please share some beginner friendly projects(websites) to do. I’m really stuck and unable to create any projects even though I know the basics. And it’s really scaring me away from programming.
I don’t want to look at tutorials that make projects because IDK but that doesn’t help me at this point. They’re building websites with their own thought process and I have a different thought process.
IDK what could help me. If you ever faced this phase, do share how you overcame this phase.

For eg: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErRRS-rHjWc&list=PLPppPPmk0i3hZCNmbVtcP1hlwDKOdUFX9&index=3 I watch this video. I know everything he’s doing in the video. But when I’ve to create a site without looking at him, I don’t get it. I try to make stuffs but then I fail.

I’d like to see some projects examples that I can build step by step at this phase with some guidance as well.
What I could do with CSS could also be done with bootstrap but the main point is that I am fundamentally not able to create something from scratch. I’ve put around 1 month on learning html and css and looking at my current situation, I’m having to rethink about my programming career, if that’s even right for me.

The problem you're encountering is that a website today requires a backend as well as a frontend. You'll often find backend programmers who code the web app's functionality, and then team up with front-end designers who design the user interface. Or you'll find frontend programmers, like yourself, who typically also have Javascript knowledge, along with CSS framework experience (Sass, etc.), and then pair those technologies with a backend developer. It's only "full stack" developers who have the ability to create something from scratch by themselves, because they're skilled in both front end as well as back end.

Don't get discouraged. Basically front end development is important and useful. It's just that it's often just one part of a larger team that goes into creating a complete project.

It is my suggestion that you dive deep into the language by learning about more complex topics like responsive design, web accessibility, and JavaScript. It's also a good idea to try your hand at learning how web frameworks like Bootstrap and AngularJS function.

Or you could try the React framework instead of Angular. I've heard better things about it.
