To cite multiple pages from the same website, you should create separate works-cited-list entries for each page. As outlined in the MLA Handbook, “[c]ross-references are not suitable for ongoing works, like periodicals and websites, or works in a nonbook series, like podcasts and television shows, since information about the larger, ongoing series can change over time” (5.131).
Take, for example, the Digital Dante website published by Columbia University Libraries. You can create an entry for the website:
Barolini, Teodolinda. Digital Dante. Columbia University Libraries, 2014, digitaldante.columbia.edu/.
But if you’re citing information from specific pages, each page needs its own entry, and those entries should not be cross-referenced to the entry for the website overall. Here are a few example entries for pages contained in the Digital Dante website:
Barolini, Teodolinda. “Inferno 10: Love in Hell.” Digital Dante, edited by Barolini, Columbia University Libraries, 2018, digitaldante.columbia.edu/dante/divine-comedy/inferno/inferno-10/.
———. “Paradiso 10: Multiple Truth and Intellectual Tolerance.” Digital Dante, edited by Barolini, Columbia University Libraries, 2014, digitaldante.columbia.edu/dante/divine-comedy/paradiso/paradiso-10/.
“Image.” Digital Dante, edited by Teodolinda Barolini, Columbia University Libraries, digitaldante.columbia.edu/image/. Accessed 23 Apr. 2025.
Notice that in the examples above, there is a publication date provided for some of the pages, so no access date needs to be given in those entries. However, you can include an access date in entries for pages that don’t indicate a publication date for the page.
