As someone who frequently hires Wordpress freelancers, I offer this:

Don't 'sell' the client on using Wordpress relative to other frameworks. They don't need to know the complete power and limitations of the WP ecosystem; that's your job (in their eyes). Just say 'yes.'

>Can I add products later? Yes. >Can I add pages? Yes. >Can I add coupons? Yes. >Does it have SEO? Yes.

It's easy work for someone like you with sysadmin and PHP skills. Your client will love how quickly you can diagnose whatever problems they're having.

Thanks! I think a lot about this, and start changing my profile, at first I was mention the tech skills in my profile I change it to more functional speech.

And I promise I will be less technical when doing proposals. Thanks for your comment I really think a lot about this.
