Citing webpages

To cite a webpage state the title or description of the specific page; the title or description of the site as a whole; the owner or sponsor of the site; and a URL. The word website (or web page) may be added (in parentheses) after the title or description of the site if the nature of the source is unclear. 

Publication date or date of revision or modification; if no such date can be determined, include an access date. For frequently updated resources, a time stamp may be included. The School of Historical and Philosophical Inquiry recommends that citations of website be included in the footnotes and the bibliography which varies from Chicago which says that usually this content does not need to be cited in a bibliography. (14.104).
