One solution to this might be to remove .anon access to the !gateway
site, this will mean anyone attempting to visit the gateway site will
get prompted to login first and after logging in will get taken to
their My Workspace.

The default login page in 2.5.x consists of an image and the login
boxes (which sound similar to what you're after).

To remove .anon access from the !gateway site goto the Administraion
Workspace and they use the realms tool. Search for "!gateway" and then
click on the .anon role (make a note of the permissions used incase
you want to add it back later), then remove this role and save the
realm.
