Hi

Sounds really good, but...

I'd choose a name where there's still a .com domain available.
At the moment, your customers would run into a '403 forbidden'
page with www.procreative.com  :o(

And if they choose pro-creative.com, they hit a website where
the tag goes: Where Ideas are Born - So they think they're at
the right place.

You will always have these difficulties with a name like that,
which is so popular.

(Branding is not important for a small firm, and not important
on the internet, btw... And: Look at the dumb names that many
successful businesses have... Micro+Soft for instance (small
+ weak), there are many more examples  ;)

Cheers Mike
