Mention the name or title of the website in the text of your sentence if you refer to the website as a whole, not to any particular section, article, page, information or document. To determine the website's official name, check the logo on the site's home page.
Paste the website's full URL into a parenthetical citation at the end of the sentence, including the "http://www." at the beginning and the domain specification at the end (.com, .gov, .edu, etc.). For example, a sentence about this website could read, "The eHow website publishes many useful articles (http://www.ehow.com/)." Don't hyperlink the website's URL; it should appear in normal text.
Omit the normal author-date citation in the text; according to the American Psychological Association, this is unnecessary if you only reference the website in general. (Additionally, don't include a citation for the website in your paper's reference list.)
Cite the author of the website if you referenced a specific page of the website, document published by the site or information found on the site. If the page you reference cites a specific person as its author, then use that person's last name. Otherwise, cite the publisher of the website, often an organization or a business. If the site doesn't specify a publisher, then simply cite the website's name (check its logo to determine its official name).
Place the author's name inside a set of parentheses at the end of the sentence.
Specify the webpage's publication date in the parenthetical citation. Add a comma after the author's name; after a space, write the publication year.
Specify the appropriate page number or paragraph number, if you referenced information from a specific section of the website's document. Add a comma after the publication year; after a space, write "p." for page number or "para." for paragraph number. After another space, write the number.
