Abracadabra, it's done! Under current US law, copyright applies
automatically to any work that is fixed intangible form. (A web site stored
on a computer disk will qualify.) You don't need to register your copyright
under current US law, or even publish a copyright notice.
You must apply for registration before you can sue someone for copyright
infringement, though. This is wise if you have any concern about protecting
your rights. It is easy and cheap to do yourself. For forms and
instructions, see http://www.copyright.gov/forms/.

Ask the copyright owner for permission. Oh, and get it in writing.

What do you mean? Anything you create is automatically copyright as
soon as you put it into any tangible or visible medium such as a
computer file a/k/a Web page.
If you are asking how to get permission to use material in which
someone else owns the copyright, the answer is the same as if you
were publishing a book: Write to the copyright owner, negotiate a
license fee, and pay it.

I am not a lawyer; this is not legal advice. When you read anything
legal on the net, always verify it on your own, in light of your
particular circumstances. You may also need to consult a lawyer.

Not sure what you mean by "copyright permission", but the fundamental
answer is that, for things subject to copyright, you hold the copyright
when you create them.
There are some extras that come with actually registering copyright, but
it's no better than your wherewithall to enforce it, which is pretty
much up to you, rather than being something the government will do for you.
There are a great many copyright resources on the Web.

If you create it, just give yourself permission.
If you're including stuff that other people created, ask them for
permission.

I think he is the copyright owner.

Yeah, maybe I read it backwards. I thought she meant she wanted to
put copyright materials owned by others on her website. Has she
clarified what she meant?
