How do I cite a webpage from a website in MLA Style?

Answer

In general you should be citing specific pages of websites and not an entire website.  This question goes over how to cite specific pages and not an entire website.  For all styles, if there isn’t a person named as author, you can lead with the title of the page or the name of the organization that created the website.  Many webpages will not have specific dates, refer to the Library’s FAQs on “How Do I Cite Sources that Don’t Have a Date?” or “How Do I Cite a Webpage that Only Provides a Copyright Date Range?”

 

To cite a website MLA Style recommends: 

Last name, first name, if available. “Title of the Webpage.” Name of Website, Website Publisher if different from      website name, Date of website/modified/updated date, if available, URL.  Access date if no other date is      available.
