I'm developing a small website for a friend that will give some basic
information about his business (5 pages) and provide and area for clients to
log in and be directed to a page particular to that client. There ware only
a few clients. The client logon would have both a client name and client
password that would preassigned.

This seems to be pretty simple but it is the first time I've ever tried
anything like it and I'm already confused. Any help would be much
appreciated.

You will need to look into your database driven application which will be based on what is supported
by the web hosting service.

Bob,

You'll need to utilize a program language such as VB or PHP to implement the dynamic nature of the web site you're designing.

Thanks. Are you say then that rather than using a database, I should write
some code that would be executed when the client entered his name and
password? I assume that I would manually enter each client and the client's
password into the code and then compare the name and password entered by the
client to the names and passwords already coded. Is that right?

Regarding which programming language to use, what would you recommend? I
assume just about everyone who would be a client would be using a recent
version of Explorer, Netscape, or Mozilla.

The programming language depends on what is supported by your web host, and you would use a database

I am going to make a guess here that you know zip about asp pages and such.
It's ok don't panic. There are some solutions. You can try
http://www.coffeecup.com/password-wizard/
for a solution that is not too difficult to implement. Maybe one of the
senior members on here can give advice as to just how secure this product is
on a scale of 1 to 10. I'm not sure just how "secure" it is, but it is
fairly easy to use.
