Description
Currently there are ~20 usages of "website" spelling (as one word, without capitalization) and ~50 of "web site" one (as two words, with "Web" capitalized) but according to AP stylebook and The Chicago Manual of Style, it is the "website" spelling that should be used from now on.
For reference please check p. ex. the following:

So, I'm gonna update the existing documentation and the guidelines, so the usages would be coherent :)
