Easy Bib
In addition to providing information on APA formatting, Easy Bib has a link to a citation generator for APA. NOTE: Generators are helpful but not 100% correct
Citation Builder
On this citation site, the user inputs all the information about the resource (author, title, etc.) and this site will format the citation for you. It's nice because if you input the information correctly (with correct capitalizations) you'll get a good citation. They won't fix capitalization errors.
