import discord
from discord.ext import commands

client = discord.Client()

@client.event

    print('Bot is ready.')



client.run('token')

Not quite sure what you mean by "if a website's HTML changes." Is this website on the same server that is hosting your discord bot? If so, you can do something like this:

import discord
import os
import asyncio

client = discord.Client()

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print('bot is ready.')
    client.loop.create_task(checkHTML())

@client.event
async def checkHTML():
    HTMLFileModificationTime = os.path.mtime('pathToHTMLFile')
    if not os.path.exists("./lastModified.txt"):
        with open("./lastModified.txt", "w") as fileN:
            fileN.write(HTMLFileModificationTime)
        pass
    else:
        with open("./lastModified.txt", "r") as fileN:
            lastModified = fileN.read()
        if HTMLFileModificationTime == lastModified:
            pass # Not Modified
        else:
            with open("./lastModified.txt", "w") as fileN:
                fileN.write(HTMLFileModificationTime)

            for server in client.servers:
                for channel in server.channels:
                    if channel.id == "CHANNEL ID HERE"
                        await client.send_message(channel, "MESSAGE HERE")
        await asyncio.sleep(600)

client.run('token')

I'm at work currently, so I can't check to ensure that the above code will work "out of the box" but it's something I've used in a few bots in the past and should steer you in the right direction at least.
