There's a difference between sight and site.

Sight implies an action involving vision. Site implies reference to place or location.

A "web site" is a place on the worldwide web, identified by its URL. This is the conventional usage.

A "web sight" would be something seen on the worldwide web. It could only be identified by a description. It would not be an address.

Check any dictionary.
