Services that are low-context (i.e. doesn’t require knowledge of EA to perform) should be selected based on quality & price. There’s no reason to prefer that a member of EA is making money as a web developer (as opposed to any other provider) unless you believe you’re getting more than what you pay for based on their membership to the community.
All else equal, I think transferring money to EAs rather than non-EAs will transfer some money to effective charities. I don’t think this is a large effect, but e.g. it could be 10% of my fee if they’re a GWWC pledger, so perhaps I should discount prices offered by pledgers by around 10% before comparing them to other prices.
(In fact, I probably value moving resources to EA-motivated people more than just what they subsequently donate, but the more indirect the model of impact, the less I think it’s worth analysing in detail.)
