# BioNTech: Their vaccine was ready. So was their website.

BioNTech launched its COVID-19 vaccine landing page on time because its marketers build pages themselves with DXPR Builder: 300% faster time-to-market and far less dependency on IT.

## A company that outgrew its website platform.

WordPress shortcodes. A proprietary markup language. Every layout change required a developer.

BioNTech's fast-growing portfolio of products, technologies, and R&D updates was outgrowing its WordPress platform. Marketers had to learn a code-based shortcode system wrapped in \[square brackets\] to build even basic layouts.

The company needed shorter onboarding for new team members, faster time-to-market for landing pages, and far less dependency on IT resources for routine content work.

A modern visual builder. The same corporate brand standards. No shortcodes, no IT tickets.

## Visual editing.
Corporate control.

BioNTech deployed both DXPR Theme and DXPR Builder on Drupal 8, creating a tightly integrated platform. DXPR Theme handles the corporate identity; DXPR Builder gives marketers a visual editing layer that automatically follows the brand.

No shortcodes. No developer tickets. Marketers drag and drop content into pages that are on-brand from the start.
