Hello,

First, aside from numbers, statistics, and ratios you should put information into your own words and then there is no need for quotation marks.  It is heavily frowned upon in APA style writing to directly quote.  Instead you should paraphrase.  Second, you in-text citation will follow the same format as any other source, so Author's last name and the publication date.  If it is a company web site then the company name is the Author's last name.  Most web sites do not include publication dates so n.d. for no date will suffice instead.
