I don't know of a website. But there are freeware programs, like Finale's NotePad. For the most part, free programs allow you to enter a single instrument, and you can only have one voice - no bass note held while other notes are played above it, etc.

You could also use something like TuxGuitar, GuitarPro, or PowerTab - I think all of those allow the output of standard notation. I haven't used any of those much (I use the full-blown Finale), but my sense is they have some issues... you might never run into them if you stay in simple keys and don't transpose much.

Recently I asked a similar question. I posted several links there:

Currently Finale NotePad is not freeware, they has a 30-day trial demo version. I used Finale NotePad when we made that experience for creating melodies and I kept using it all this time. Recently I changed my computer and I saw it was not longer freeware.

A good free program is Lilypond
The developers focus is on creating beautiful output to look as close as possible to manual music engraving.

It's not a wysiwyg drag-n-drop program, but it is pretty easy to get up to sped on it (at least for me).
