Client extranet like BaseCamp?

So I've always sent project links to clients via email. I format the email using simple HTML in Mail. (I select the text and just add a link and then bold it). Works great and all but I thought it would be nice and more professional to have some sort of extranet-type thing that looks good, is branded, is simple super to use and access, etc. This way my clients only have to check one place for links and project files, without having to go through emails. Email has worked fine for the most part but the problem comes about where I'm working with many links for one client.
I've used BaseCamp a few times before but just think it's a bit of overkill for what I need. BaseCamp isn't complicated but is just too much for what I need (plus it's not that configurable as far as the design of it goes).
I'm looking for something even more simple. Literally a way for a client to login to a page, see my logo along with a list of links that are nicely formatted or even some other way of organizing by project. When clicked, the links would bring you to another page where you could preview the work, either in the same window or in a new window. It would mainly to see Flash-based animations. It would be nice to have the ability to include project files somewhere too (or even a built in way for file sharing). Yeah, I know I could do this with HTML but I'm looking for something that's pre-built, something where I don't have to mess with any code. Like a system where I can create links, post files, etc etc from the same place -- without having to generate code first. Something that I can customize too.
I don't care about being able to post comments, see how long someone has been logged in for, and dates for everything.
If anyone has any recommendations or suggestions, even to companies or individuals that are able to make something custom, it would be much appreciated.
