How do I cite a website?

If providing information from a specific webpage, your reference citation would look like other sources:

Author, A. (year). Title of webpage. http://exacturlofwebpage.com

Your in-text citation would also be similar to other sources: (Author, year)

When mentioning the existence of a website in general in the text (and not using information from it), there is no need to provide a full citation. Just include the URL in parentheses:

To begin my research, I typed "women" and "cancer" into Google (https://www.google.com).
