Where do I practice my front end skills?

I've completed a couple of courses in HTML5, CSS3, and Javascript here on Treehouse in the past 2 months. But where do I go after the courses to practice what I've learnt? I want to be a self-learned professional in front end and not clear how to move forward or start taking up a beginner-level work to practice my skills? Suggestions?

Try building websites in Workspaces on your own :)

Also, don't just code things that are easy/intermediate level for you. Try challenging yourself; if you do so you might learn something brand-new just by coding on your own!

Best suggestion: Build something a little past your level but do research on how you might accomplish it.

Well first off get a IDE for you own so you can code on your computer (try PHP Storm or Web Storm by Jet brains) Try creating websites of your own for your portfolio, you can also create your own website for displaying your work. If you want to create websites that are similar to what you might be required to do when you start working you can go to freelancer.com and look for web design posts and try to do a few of those on your own.
