<p>Yes, absolutely. You can use the <code>{% requireLogin %}</code> tag at the top of any templates that you want to protect, and you can create a login form very easily to allow registered users to login and access the site:</p>

As mentioned there are paid and non paid clients. Might want to look into giving them both something to look at.

Put another way, users login to my site and I have Craft (theoretically) setup to control their access to either the entire site or specific sections only, NOT edit or have access to any Craft features. I don't even want them to know craft exists. '

Basically, I only want paid clients to have access to the site.
