One reason it doesn't work because you have the routes registered in the wrong order. The routes are evaluated from the top to the bottom of the route table and the first match wins.

Another issue is that you need to make the "default" route into an area route (using the MapAreaRoute extension method) if you want it to direct requests to the Website area.

app.UseMvc(routes =>
{
    routes.MapRoute(
        name: "area",
        template: "{area:exists}/{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}");

    routes.MapAreaRoute(
        name: "default",
        areaName: "Website",
        template: "{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}");
});
