For the Chicago Style, if I am citing multiple pages from one website do I have to cite each page separately or can I just cite the website?

The Chicago Style offers two reference systems. The fist
reference system is referred to as the Notes-Bibliography system, or NB system. This
system is favored by humanities scholars. The second Chicago Style reference system is
the author-date system, which is preferred by science scholars. Both systems require the
scholar to reference page numbers in every citation, but the citations will be of a
different style.

With respect to the NB system, for every source
cited, the scholar will also need to create either a footnote at the bottom of the page
on which the source appears, or to create an endnote at the end of each chapter or at
the end of the entire document. Each footnote or endnote will list the bibliographical
information for the source and will be marked by a subscript number that corresponds to
the subscript number in the body of the document, at the end of the sentence in which
the source is cited.

In the first footnote you create for a source
that appears more than once in the text, such as a website, you will need to include all
biographical information, including author, title, publishing data, and page numbers.
But the second and additional times that the source is cited, you will only need to
include author's surname, the first four words of the title, and the page numbers. Be
sure to always cite the page numbers in your footnotes or endnotes.

If you are using the NB system, You will not, however, need to cite
the page numbers again in the Bibliography.  The Bibliography will only require author's
name, title, and all publishing data.

For the science scholars the
author-date system is very similar. The biggest difference is that after you refer to
the source in the text, you will put your citation reference in parentheses at the end
of the sentence. The parenthetical citation will include the author's last name, year of
publication, and the page number.

But again, for the Bibliography, you
will not need to reference the page numbers of your source. The Bibliography will still
only include the author, tittle, and publishing data.

To summarize,
whether you are using the Chicago Manual of Style note-bibliography style, or the
author-date style, you will need to cite the page numbers for
every page of
every source used, including every
page of your website. You will not, however, need to repeat the page number information
in your Bibliography
