Link Post: How to handle a client comparing your hourly rate to cheap overseas development
Maintainability. If it needs to be maintainable, it needs to be built right. Good documentation, automation where possible, proper subversioning, and well commented code. I spoke with a potential client for our corporate skunkworks program the other day who spoke with a developer who didn't know what Git was. Regardless of your tool of choice (Git, Mercurial, or any other tool) - you should know what they all are and their importance.
It doesn't even have to be overseas. I've seen a lot of crappy code from people in the US that didn't know what they were doing and won a bid because they were the cheapest.
