A searchable home for feature entertainers and their titles
FeatureNews.VIP moved from a legacy site on separate hosting to the Automate Horizon platform, rebuilt around a searchable directory of entertainer profiles. The performers' bios were carried across, not rewritten.
Project Overview
FeatureNews.VIP is the home of feature entertainment: an online publication and directory devoted to feature entertainers, the headline performers of the feature and burlesque scene. Each entertainer has a profile that carries their own story, the awards and titles they have won, and where to follow them online. Fans can browse the whole roster in one place, search it by name, filter it by state, and share any profile with a single link. The goal was a site that looks as premium as the performers it covers, keeps the spotlight on the entertainers rather than the platform, and gives the FeatureNews team one simple route for new profile and interview requests. FeatureNews.VIP is live at featurenews.vip on the Automate Horizon platform.
FeatureNews.VIP started life on a separate legacy site. Automate Horizon rebuilt it on our managed platform, carried the content across and moved the featurenews.vip domain over. The performers’ biographies were carried across rather than rewritten: on a site about real people, the words belong to them.
The heart of the build is the entertainer directory. Every profile is a structured record rather than a free-form page, with a name, home base, style, biography, awards and titles, and social links, so each one renders in the same polished layout and the directory can be searched by name and filtered by state. The home page leads with a featured entertainer and a grid of the roster, set in an editorial serif that reads like a publication rather than a storefront.
News and interview sections are built in and stay out of the menu until their first story is published, so visitors never land on an empty page. One submission form sends profile and interview requests straight to the team, with an optional opt-in for email updates, and the contact page points visitors to the FeatureNews Instagram. Privacy, cookie and terms pages and a cookie consent banner were in place from launch. More on how we approach builds like this is on our adult website design page.
Inside the site
Every entertainer sits in one directory that visitors can search by name and filter by state, with a card that leads straight to their profile.
Each profile carries the entertainer's biography, awards and titles, and links to follow them, carried across from the earlier site rather than rewritten.
A single submission form for profile and interview requests reaches the FeatureNews team directly, with an optional opt-in for email updates.
Editorial sections are built in and appear in the menu as soon as their first story is published, so the site never shows an empty page.
