How I am
to work with.

Tools matter less than whether the project actually gets finished. A few things clients tend to mention:

I reply quickly — usually within a few hours, and I say when I can't. I write clear English, so you won't spend the project decoding what I meant. I'd rather tell you an idea won't work than build it quietly and hand you the bill.

And I test things properly before calling them done. A surprising amount of my work has been fixing sites another developer had already marked complete.
