Because it's a simple job. User joins, gets e-mail saying "click this link", user clicks link, and is allowed to access member's area. Regardless of software he's using, it should be quite easy, unless it's encoded with IonCube or something.
If for whatever reason the project turns into a pain because he chose a shitty software platform, I'll just add a little extra on my quote for the next project to recuperate. Good clients don't give a shit. They just want a quote, approve it, get the job done, and move onto the next item.
As long as both are happy with the total amount outgoing / incoming, then all is fine. Doesn't matter if it takes me an extra couple hours to complete a certain project, and I add those extra hours onto a future project. Good clients won't care, and they definitely don't want to waste their time bickering over an hour or two of rates with a developer. As long as they know they're well taken care of, and you're honest, they're happy.
In other words, good clients appreciate someone who is good, quick, efficient, and to the point.

No, because I'm not looking for new clients, but am always open to them. If I was looking for new clients, I'd have contact info in my sig. Clients who are only capable of throwing you a couple hundred here and there, generally aren't worth dealing with, and are more of drain than anything. These are the guys who usually try to fuck you around, and squeeze every last free minute they can out of you.
I'd take a project like this on as a test of my abilities, but under somewhat of an understanding, assuming I prove myself to his satisfaction, there'd be at least a $1500 project waiting for me. Otherwise, it's not really worth it.
