Should I use <cite> here?

I am redesigning a website. Some pages are articles, based on other sources. We'll show the sources at the bottom of the page, like this: http://www.dewitte.be/pub-betekenis-van-kleur-in-marketing

Should I use cite here?

Cite works for anything that defines a title of work so I think you would be okay using it there. I probably wouldn't wrap the hyperlink in it but instead add the working title of the link next to it. So for example if the reference was "Facts About Cats" I would have it set up like: Facts About Cats - http://thenameofthesite.org/. Facts About Cats would be wrapped in the cite tag.
