Create a web page that is updatable by someone with a password

Hello everybody,
I want to create a web page (such as "Events") for a client's web site so that they can log in with a pasword and change the contents. I don't want the viewers to see the login page or that there is an existence of one. Is this possible ? If possible how do I go about that ?
Thank you in advance,

Sean.

P.S I have completed the rest of the site.

You can use sessions in ASP, PHP or JSP.

Would there be anywhere where i can look at a working example ? I am quite new to this concept and want to start from scratch. If i use sesions would the other viewers see that people can log in using a password. As I mentioned above I mentioned above I want one person to be able to add,remove or update the "events" page of the site without having to access the web server .

Thanks again Dushan.

They will not be using FTP they should be able to update through their browser.

I would take a look at a content management system

What it sounds like to me is you need a system like DOTNET NUKE which has an edit button on everypage and users can login to edit a particular page:

Here is a massive list of other content management system that you could use:
