You are looking for what's called a captive gateway.
Try looking at www.m0n0.ch/wall (m0n0wall) to start with.

They're not very complicated tasks, you should start by looking at:
NoCatAuth is our original "catch and release" captive portal
implementation. It provides a simple splash screen web page for clients
on your network, as well as a variety of authenticated modes. It is
written in Perl.
NoCatSplash is the C port of NoCatAuth. It currently supports a
splash screen (also known as "open mode") and has beta support for
authenticated access.
