Hi Leandro,

I often go on dribbble and find a UI that I like and then try creating on CodePen.

This gives great practice and exposure at the same time. Just be sure to credit the person who's design you are replicating :)

I personally use two, I use sublime text on my local WordPress installs but recently I have been using treehouse workspaces for simple front end sites for its built in sass and preview features :)

There are so many small, local nonprofits that, often by their very nature, don't have the resources and support to have big, elaborate website. They might be happy for you to donate your time making a homepage for them. Some examples on local organizations you could reach out to would be you area's non-governmental humane society or animal shelter, a local environmental group (for example that protects the local watershed or advocates for community parks), or maybe some kind of faith community (church, synagogue, mosque, etc.) or civic/community center. You could try searching on Facebook since a lot of these small groups have easy-to-manage social media presences, but might not have ever paid to build and host a real website.
