This one is specific to CSS, but its gamification system is a great way to track your progress and continue learning, they even give away some merchandise at the end of some battles, which is always a great motivator. 

The battles on there aren't necessarily going to tell you how to create web layouts, but they will definitely help you tackle some of the more intermediate CSS properties.

The great thing about CodePen challenges is that they provide prompts for nearly a variety of languages and technologies. HTML, CSS, Javascript, Flutter, you name it.
