One resource that helped me a LOT in my early days was freecodecamp.org

It not only took me through the very basics of HTML, CSS, and JS with exercises along the way, but it also had capstone projects that included building all sorts of things. One of them was a portfolio project. What I liked the most about those projects is that they had full lists of requirements, along with the expected user experience.

The best part of how the courses are structure is that it feels more like a syllabus you'd see in college than an online video table of content, and they teach everything from how to get started all the way to best practices for mobile website development, security, server side programming, and so on.

What some may consider a downside is that freecodecamp has selected a very specific tech stack, and they run with that, so if you're not into React for your javascript library/framework, no luck here.
Still a great resource for, if nothing else, guiding you through the portfolio part of your journey.
