You can use a password protected directory to protect content on your site so its only viewable to people who you want to see it.

Alternatively there is the scripting method. You can use a php script to process logins and using either a session or cookie to remember the users information. This is a much more flexible way of doing it (Most memberships site use this that don't just have member content restricted to images or articles). The downside is all the protected pages have be made to work with the script, meaning they have to be the same extension as the scripting language (for instance .php instead of .html). So you would have to change that if its not setup that way already, and its possible you would need some knowledge of a programming language (it would depend on the script).
