A copyright is in effect as soon as an object is tangible. Thus as soon as your website is created, it is protected -- though not to the extent of one who went through the actual filing process. But for all intensive purposes, it should suffice.

Long story short, feel free to place the copyright logo and text on your site, and enforce it if necessary. GL.

Also, check the link to the US Copyright Office under the "Resources" heading of the left navigation of our forums.

It has all the info you need on copyrights: http://www.copyright.gov/

But understand that copyrighting the site and being a registered company are two completly different items, you must also go through the paperwork and processes set in place to register your company if you have not already done so.
