Copyright protection automatically attaches to any copyrightable work as soon as it is fixed in a tangible medium. You need not take any steps to "copyright" your work other than creating it. However, it is advantageous to REGISTER your copyright. This you can do by completing a Copyright Form TX, specifying authorship in the text, graphics, selection, arrangement and design of the Web site, attaching one print-out of the site, and sending it, with a check for $20, to the US Copyright Office. The Copyright Office does not regard Web sites as published works, so only one copy, not two, is required to accompany the filing.
You should be mindful, however, that most of the people who hire you to design Web sites for them will expect you to assign the copyright to them, not keep it yourself (that is, if they have had good legal counsel).
