I think a good first target for a static web site would be a restaurant website.

The goals are pretty simple, you can probably put one together in a few days or a week, and just by not making it awful you actually produce a website that is better than the vast majority of restaurant websites.

That's a cool idea! I had a lot of luck with student organizations since I was a college student. I also built a site for a book my professor was writing, a board game that a friend was launching, and a professional parent psychologist. There's tons of small business out there that have little to no web presence but feel bad about not having something better up. They're more than willing to pay a learner $100 to give it a shot at creating something better.
