How do I do it? Not sure if you need to do it the Harvard way lmao, that might be just for books? Either way, what's the correct way to reference a website?

Young, C. (2001) English Heritage position statement on the Valletta Convention, [Online], Available: http://www.archaeol.freeuk.com/EHPostionStatement.htm [24 Aug 2001].

In the WWW page example, sometimes the author’s details or the date of publication/update might be missing. When the author’s name is missing, use the name of the web page to list the reference, as you would with any other anonymous source. If the date of publication or update is missing, omit this information, but be sure to still include in square brackets the date you accessed the information.

Or so I heard...

It's not an article though, it's the treaty of Versailles (the articles). On a website.

So...

Treaty of Versailles Article X, [online], www.whteva.com, [Available 6/01/09]

Worky?

As the title I would use the actual title of the webpage as can be found at the top of the browser. That's what I did for my thesis.
Name of webpage, [Online], Available: http://www.archaeol.freeuk.com/EHPostionStatement.htm [24 Aug 2001].

I like the way they do it here in the example, so that you mention the name of the website (say The Guardian Online) followed by the name of the webpage in italic, that you take from the top of your internet browser window :
http://libweb.anglia.ac.uk/referencing/harvard.htm
For websites found on the world wide web the required elements for a reference are:

Authorship or Source, Year. Title of web document or web page. [Medium] Available at: include web site address/URL(Uniform Resource Locator) and additional details such as access or routing from the home page of the source. [Accessed date].

National electronic Library for Health. 2003. Can walking make you slimmer and healthier? (Hitting the headlines article). [Online] (Updated 16 Jan 2005)
Available at: http://www.nhs.uk.hth.walking [Accessed 10 April 2005].

N.B. the URL should be underlined
The title of a web page is normally the main heading on the page.

It is good practice to keep a copy of the front page of any website you use.

how do we reference a website Harvard style in the text.

I know how to put the full reference at the end but what about within the text?

To cite electronic sources in a Harvard bibliography use the following format:

Web Guide toReferencing. 2007. Is Referencing Essential.(Referencing Essays).[Online] Available at: http://www.ucas.uk.referencing [accessed 11August 2008].

That is: the nameof the site, the article, the URL (underlined), the date sourced.
