- Look on the website you want to use for a sponsor or publisher and date created. You can often find that information at the bottom of the page. The sponsor/publisher will not be a company that does web design. It will often be a company, corporation, or individual. If there is not a current date last updated, you could use the copyright date -- again at the bottom of the page.
