Appwidgets are quite restrictive in this respect, I guess webviews would probably be far too resource-heavy to keep drawn on the home screen. I'm not aware of a method of rendering HTML directly onto a widget, but depending on your requirements you could use a tool like Jericho (http://jericho.htmlparser.net/) to extract the contents of the webpage, and draw the resulting text and images inside textviews and imageviews. The views could be laid out in a similar fashion to the webpage you want display. If the website is one you maintain yourself, an even better solution would be to expose the page data via a Web service, as it will avoid you having to update your appwidget every time the webpage layout is modified.
