I’m a Front-end/JavaScript developer and web development instructor at General Assembly in London. Over the years I’ve seen lots of students who struggle to find projects to practice on once they’ve learned the fundamentals of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
So I built Frontend Mentor as a place where people can come to improve their front-end skills whilst using a real-life workflow. Each challenge provides mobile & desktop designs, assets, starter code, project brief, and a front-end style guide. The rest is up to the individual.
All challenges are free and there’s a Slack community if you need any help on one of the projects.
I’ve literally just launched this last week, so I’d love some feedback if you can spare the time.
This looks pretty awesome! There's lots of similar stuff for backend devs but this is the first one I've seen for frontend devs. Where do the designs come from? Can companies 'sponsor' designs? I think we'd be happy to pay money for a designer in return for logo/link next to the design.

Thanks for taking a look!
The goal is definitely to try to move this towards being a full-time thing, as opposed to a side project.
