If you want a mirror of a specific page: 
wget example.com/sample.html

If you want to get all of a web site - just one level deep (the direct links from index) use: 
wget example.com

If you actually do want to grab a mirror of the whole site - use: 
wget --mirror example.com

be aware - that you can get more than you expect
also, it is considered rude to grab a full mirror during business hours - unless you know that they have plenty of bandwidth.
