About
The Engineering Phase Whales mind map template provides a structured financial and technical breakdown for launching blockchain-integrated web projects. This Engineering Phase Whales template covers four critical workstreams: Landing Page development, Minting Page creation, Custom Smart Contract logic, and Copy Writing. It serves as a comprehensive Engineering Phase Whales cheat sheet for project managers to compare service options, such as the 'Landing page (fiverr pro service)' versus a more robust 'Landing page + Web security' setup. With 21 nodes across a single sheet, the map quantifies specific budget estimates like the '$300' allocation for technology text content and the '$745' baseline for professional landing page design. It is designed to help teams decide between outsourcing and internal development, specifically noting 'Bikin sendiri' (DIY) paths for smart contracts and minting interfaces.
