Citing a website in Chicago style requires you to include much of the same information you would including in citing a print resource like author(s)/editor(s), title of website, publisher information, etc. This information can be difficult to find on a website so you may have to look around a bit to find the information. Chicago style also requires that you include the date you accessed the website and/or publication date (if available), and the website's URL. For detailed information please visit: 14.207: Citing web pages and websites.
