I am learning web development (on my own) and made an intranet, but I'm lost as to how to progress with this project?

Hello,

I've been learning web development on my own these past months and I've been focusing on a project as I learn better when I work on actual things rather than just theory. The project is an intranet for a company and its employees.

The problem is that I'm rather lost as how to progress further. I've had trouble with setting up prepared statements for a task list I made and assigning this user-specific rather than one general task list. Another problem is that the website isn't responsive at all, this bugs me the most, since everything I read online tells me to rewrite or begin from scratch and I've put a lot of work in this without having prior experience or knowledge.

How should I tackle my progress with this project and web development?

What I have tried:

- Asking help on Stackoverflow, but the community is rather harsh instead of helping.
- Our guru for everything: Google.

There are few demands for "unique" web site implementations; everyone's into Wordpress, Shopify, whatever. It's mostly "templates". Study a few and maybe see how they "optimize".

It is a good idea only if you plan to have a private teacher, otherwise, forget your project for now and follow tutorials with progressive exercises, when you are confident, go back to your project.
