Is there a way to refer to different subpages of a website in text while only citing its main directory in the works cited?

For example, the hypothetical webpage, example.com, has the following hierarchy:

example.com/

/sub1
/sub2
/sub3

Ordinarily, it would be cited in the works cited like this:

Doe, John, et al. “Webpage Title.”
www.example.com/main/sub1
Doe, John, et al. “Webpage Title.”
www.example.com/main/sub2
Doe, John, et al. “Webpage Title.”
www.example.com/main/sub3

However, would this be a legal works cited citation:

Doe, John, et al. “Webpage Title.”
www.example.com/main/

Following, would this be a legal in text citation for a subpage:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do
eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua (Doe /sub1).

Yes, that would be a legal citation if done properly. Check out this excerpt from this link about citing a whole website:

It is a good idea to list your date of access because web postings are often updated, and information available on one date may no longer be available later. When using the URL, be sure to include the complete address for the site except for the . Editor, author, or compiler name (if available). Name of Site. Version number, Name of institution/organization affiliated with the site (sponsor or publisher), date of resource creation (if available), URL, DOI or permalink. Date of access (if applicable).

For the internal citations you need only to reference the website name/author depending on what you have. You probably want to check with your teacher considering some teacher have different preferences. Look here for info on citations.
