Hi All,
Before everyone starts thinking "Oh we've had this one before, you want to use BaseCamp" type scenario, we're looking for some kind of tool/app/software for project collab/management with 2 sides:
• the 'admin side' where we create projects
• the 'client side' for them to check their projectsEssentially, we want to let each of our various clients to login to a page/website to *quickly/instantly* see a list of their company projects displayed, showing their status/time bar (eg. logged/started/due date).
It's that simple... so no extra pages/tabs for messaging, billing etc is required for this. It *must* be very client-user friendly, if it is remotely time consuming they won't be interested.So far the closest thing I've found is:
http://www.projectpier.orgFrom a visual usability perspective http://www.subernova.com comes close but doesn't feature a client login/viewable area for their projects.

My app Cashboard does that, but it's a bit more involved than just a simple page per project.
The client UI can show time entries and tasks you're working on to your clients.
It also shows invoices/estimates your clients can pay. Give it a look, maybe it's what you're looking for.

ActiveCollab does exactly what you need. We have used it for a couple years and if you can live without a gantt chart and robust time tracking your troubles are over.

... http://www.getontracks.org looks pretty good and user friendly.
It looks like I may have to take a closer look at ActiveCollab also.
Thanks for all the suggestions so far.

It is FREE and works extremely well...
openatrium.com- Can be buggy... runs super slow on my server, but I'm thinking that's a DB issue.pastpastdue

my web site... although still in development. It's tailored for creatives, and has one feature that sets it apart and is a life saver for freelancers like me :) I just need to get it finished so I can get it out to people
