We have updated the site creation form in **MyPressable** to automatically format site names, check availability in real time, and suggest open alternatives as you type.

**Updates & Navigation**

- **Flexible Text Input:** The **Site Name** field now accepts spaces, capital letters, and punctuation without forcing manual formatting.
- **Live System Previews:** Automatically creates and displays the system-friendly URL name beneath the input field while you type.
- **Instant Availability Checks:** Checks whether a name is open right away, warning you before you hit submit if a name is taken.
- **Smart Name Suggestions:** Automatically offers the next available option (for example, adding a number to the end) if your chosen name is already in use.
- **Clean Display Names:** Saves your original typed name as the site’s Display Name in your dashboard, keeping your site list easy to read.

**How to get started**

Log into **MyPressable**, go to **Sites > Add Site**, and type your site name on the final setup step to see live previews and instant availability feedback.
