Questions about Harvard websites

How do I cite a website in Harvard with no author?

Cite Them Right uses the organisation as author; if there is no organisation either, start with the page title.

How do I reference a website in-text in Harvard?

(Organisation, Year) or, in a sentence, “The World Health Organization (2023) reports…”.

Do I include the website name in Harvard?

Only when it is different from the author. When the organisation is both author and site owner, give it once.
