To cite a website in APA style, you need to include the author’s name, the publication date, the title of the page or article, the website name, and the URL in parentheses

• Last name, Initials. (Year, Month Day). Title of article or post. Website Name. URL
• For example:
• Kramer, L. (2021, April 9). Punctuation: Everything you need to know. Grammarly.
• If there is no author, start the citation with the title of the article If the page is likely to change over time, add a retrieval date
• For the in-text citation, use the author’s last name and the year of publication in parentheses

• If you are citing an online version of a print publication (e.g. a newspaper, magazine, or dictionary), use the same format as you would for print, with a URL added at the end
