Mla in Text Citation for Website with No Author
Sometimes you’re citing a whole site, like Wikipedia or a corporate page. If the site is the publisher, you just use the site name in your citation. For example: The World Health Organization’s website states that handwashing saves lives (World Health Organization). Easy peasy.

It’s like saying, “I heard it from the guy who runs the store.” The store itself becomes the source of authority. No individual author? No problem.
The Exceptional Case: Government or Organizational Sites
If you’re using a .gov or .org site, the “author” is often the organization itself. So the organization name goes in your in-text citation. It feels official, like wearing a badge that says “I Follow Rules.” Just drop it in parentheses or weave it into your sentence.
For example: The Centers for Disease Control recommends annual flu shots (CDC). That’s cleaner than a freshly sanitized countertop.
