Including is used as a preposition here.
You use including to introduce examples of people or things that are part of the group of people or things that you are talking about.
...many conditions, including allergies, hyperactivity and tooth decay.
(Collins)
See also other gerunds used as prepositions: e.g., excluding, excepting, barring.

", including multimedia content," is a (free modifier) parenthetical (adverbial) phrase. 'Including' is here an active (present) participle (not a gerund). The addition of this phrase is a short-cut way of saying "A website includes multimedia content."
I'm not familiar with the term 'substitutive verb'. The participle "including" is a non-finite form of the verb, so when it lacks an auxiliary verb it equates to "to include", making it a gerund (noun), but in adverbial use the auxiliary (a form of 'be' matching the main tense) is simply assumed, so it is not a gerund -- a noun phrase is never adverbial (unless it is temporal, in which case a preposition can be assumed; but I digress).
{Regarding the other answer: Just because a word precedes a noun phrase does not make it a preposition.}
