The guidelines you are using make a difference. Most instructors use MLA (usually for the humanities) or APA (for the social sciences). There are some differences between these two. Since you don't specify and MLA is the most common, I'll go with that one. Also, it occurs to me that it's possible you are referring to how to cite sources in the text and at the end of your paper rather than End Notes. End Notes are for added information that relates but doesn't fit into your paper. Works Cited is for the sources you use in your paper. I talk about both below:
In the text, in parenthesis, you cite your source. The guideline is to cite as much information as your reader will need to find the source on your Works Cited page--and no more. If you have the author's name, you cite that in parenthesis. If you don't have the name, but you have a title, you cite the first part of it in parenthesis. Use the first part of whatever you use on the Work Cited page.
With endnotes, you simply add the number above where you cited the source. Then, on an endnote page, you number your notes to correspond with the numbers in your essay. See the following example:
In the text . . .
Now more than 9 million children are classified as obese (Carmona). 1 [note--that would be a subscript number--a little above the text. I couldn't figure out how to do it here.]
On the End Notes page . . .
1
Obesity is measured in terms of body-mass index (BMI): weight in kilograms divided by square of height in meters. An adult with a BMI 30 or higher is considered obese. [and so on]
This is how a citation might appear on your Works Cited page:
Pena, Patricia N. "Patti Pen's Letter to Car Talk." Cars.com.
(Cars. com is underlined) Car Talk. 10 Jan. 2001
In the above example, you would cite this internet source in your paper like this (Pena). If there are numbered pages on the cite, you would give the page number (Pena 3).

With a website you just do not include a web page. I had a teacher question me once because there was no page number. I showed her that it was a website and she said, oh yes, ok. You cannot put a page number if the pages are not numbered. Technically it would be page 1 I guess, but still, you just put the name and that is it.
