Having problem with if statement
Could someone help me out with this if statement? It's supposed to get a person's website, but it isn't working when I run it.

website=""
echo "Would you like to enter a website? Enter Yes/No"
read choice
if ["$choice" == "Yes"]
then
while ["$website" == ""]
do
echo "Please enter a website:";
read website;
done
else
website="None"
fi
