I just did a search, like:

  http://www.tbtf.com/resource/web-costs.html

and the nodes reachable transitively from there, such as

  http://webstoregenerator.com/

  http://searchnyc.com/design.html

although several of these references are now dead links.  (No,
I have tried alexa on them.)  There are, too, these references:

  http://www.etproductions.com/pages/prices.htm

  http://www.astraweb.co.za/websites.htm

  http://hairynet.com/faq/dom.html

  http://hairynet.com/prices.htm

and
