There are many types of lecture, so I hope I will answer your question well. You can proceed by taking the Responsive Web Design class on freeCodeCamp for example. It allows you to learn and apply what you learned which is really good for memory. It gaves you also the basics to create a website. You got, at the end of the entire lessons, projects. This will allow you to create your real first pages by your own.
As we are on the freeCodeCamp place it is what I advice you. What will make you progress is create websites. It is in practicing that you will improve a lot, no secrets.
