Good starter suggestions from and — they named the right areas to focus on. For someone in 's position, a compact, practical path beats trying to follow every tutorial at once: firm up semantic HTML and accessibility, master modern CSS layout and responsive patterns, learn JavaScript basics with progressive enhancement in mind, and adopt a small, repeatable workflow (editor + version control + browser debugging).

Concrete, free resources to use while practicing:

Simple tools and a workflow that scale:

  • Editor: Visual Studio Code with a live-preview extension.
  • Version control: Git and publish experiments to GitHub Pages.
  • Debugging and quality checks: browser DevTools and Lighthouse for performance and accessibility metrics.

Practice plan (apply, don’t just read): recreate one real landing page, make it responsive with Flexbox/Grid, add a small interactive feature that fetches live data, then run Lighthouse and fix accessibility issues from WebAIM guidance. Commit small, frequent changes and keep feature branches tidy. Build on the topics mentioned and use the visual inspiration route pointed to — learning is fastest when theory and a real project are combined.

That's kind of a tough question and it certainly depends on a number of variables. Here are a few sites I visit more often:

Semantics

http://www.w3c.org
http://www.webdevout.com

CSS


http://www.csszengarden.com
http://www.positioniseverything.com
http://www.fiftyfoureleven.com/weblog/web-development/css

Browser Compatibility

http://www.quirksmode.org/

Ajax

http://www.ajaxian.com
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/AJAX:Getting_Started

Hope some of these help :)

If you need sites that meet a more refined criteria, just let us know what type of sites you want in particular.

Great question and one I wish I had asked back when I was starting out :)

Good luck,

Chrelad
