I think titles in the software industry are all over the place. I think "software engineer" vaguely means that you are solving problems by creating/modifying software, so it is applied in many scenarios.

I would agree that putting together a basic website does not make someone a "software engineer." The website would have to have some more complex features to have a need to be "engineered", in my opinion.
