I believe the answer is:

site

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a web?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.

'just the place' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'sie' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for site that I've seen before include "Situation (of a building)" , "Designated place" , "Spot, location" , "Where something is located" , "Position; situation" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
