Just rearrange the menuitem and action definitions.

<record model="ir.actions.act_window" id="action_open_view">
            <field name="name">Websites</field>
            <field name="type">ir.actions.act_window</field>
            <field name="res_model">model.name</field>
            <field name="view_type">form</field>
            <field name="view_mode">tree,form</field>
             <field name="help" type="html">
             <p class="oe_view_nocontent_create">Click Here</p>
                <p>Manage Websites.</p>

            </field>
    </record>

<menuitem id="menu_website" name="Website" parent="menu_settings_websites"   sequence="10" action="action_open_view"/>

You trying to invoke an action before it creates. You need to define it first and then call it.

I hope it will help you.
