branching

I have a product that I distribute to my clients. Each client needs some UI customization. I want each client to be able to get updated with new version easily.

Can I create a project in svn that serves as a "base project", and then create branches for each client? With that said, will I then be able to commit changes in a branch to the branch, with the option of pushing that change to the core? Can I also perform and "update" command in a branch that will only update changes to the core?
