If you have an author, you put the author's last name in the parenthesis. If you do not have an author, put the title, but if the title is super long, put the first few words or enough of the title to differentiate it from your other title. Basically when you are doing in text, you want to cite it so that readers can look down the works cited page and find it easily. This is for MLA format, however, so if it is not MLA then you'll need to do it differently.

If you have an author, you put the author's last name in parenthesis (just like you do for other citations). You include a page number if there is one. If you don't have an author, then you put the first part of the title in parenthesis (just like you do for other citations.)

The website is usually too long, so most teachers accept the author or organization of the website if available. If not, you can cite the title of the page or article.

Yes at the end of the sentence in parenthesis, but just the title of the webpage not the address. If the webpage has actual page numbers or paragraph numbers or an author, that goes in quotes following the webpage. e.g.
(title of page here, author, page number)

If you're using MLA, you should put whatever is going to come first in the bibliographical entry on the works cited page. If you have the author's name (which comes first in the bibliographical entry when its available) then you use that.
