Use spaces before and after the [ and ] characters

Code:
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

And you don't need == when = would do.

And please use CODE-TAGS. And also say what's not working rather than just "it's not working".

NAME

       Finance::Quote::IndiaMutual  - Obtain Indian mutual fund prices from amfiindia.com

SYNOPSIS

	   use Finance::Quote;

	   $q = Finance::Quote->new;

	   %stockinfo = $q->fetch("indiamutual", "amfiindia-code"); # Can
       failover to other methods
	   %stockinfo = $q->fetch("amfiindia", "amfiindia-code"); # Use this
       module only.

	   # NOTE: currently no failover methods exist for indiamutual

DESCRIPTION

       This module obtains information about Indian Mutual Fund prices from the Association of Mutual Funds India website amfiindia.com.  The
       information source "indiamutual" can be used if the source of prices is irrelevant, and "amfiindia" if you specifically want to use
       information downloaded from amfiindia.com.

AMFIINDIA-CODE
       In India a mutual fund does not have a unique global symbol identifier.

       This module uses an id that represents the mutual fund on an id used by amfiindia.com.  You can the fund is from the AMFI web site
       http://amfiindia.com/downloadnavopen.asp.

LABELS RETURNED

       Information available from amfiindia may include the following labels:

       method link source name currency nav rprice sprice.  The link label will be a url location for the NAV list table for all funds.

NOTES

       amfiindia.com provides a link to download a text file containing all the NAVs. This file is mirrored in a local file /tmp/amfinavlist.txt.
       The local mirror serves only as a cache and can be safely removed.

       Currently NAVs of Open-Ended funds are supported.
