Keeping logged-in users in their own directory

Hello Dev Network:
I'm working on an authentication script (and possible admin area) for my design website. I'm envisioning a login for my customers, so they can preview their websites without my having to turn them loose in the wild. It's easier to collect the money due when you still have control of the files...
I'm thinking of the problem like the Amazon model. When I log in, it takes me to my own "area", with my specific wish lists and information. That's what I'd like to do with my customers. When they log in, it redirects them to their own area, and lets them view their files only.
I understand the login and admin scripts I'm looking at, but this part I'm a little stumped on.
Thank you,
Trevor
