What I want to see from a Learn To Code tutorial as a non-techie

My own faults aside, what I dislike about every "Learn to code" website is that they always show you the tools but never show you how to put them together.

Examples: "Oh this is HTML now build a website!" Bullshit. I want you to show me a full-fledged yet minimalist website, with a "front end" and a "back end" and "databases" and "plugins" yada yada that shows how everything works together - THEN I will know how to build a website.

Python: show me a full fledged yet minimalist program that shows every aspect of python and how they work together THEN I will know how to build something

All these tutorials show you the tools then expect you to build a house on your own

I would pay a lot if something could actually teach me.
