Ummm,  just how creative are you? Their version of a plum ala photoshop kinda 
sucks IMHO. On the other hand, going through their portfolio it looks like they 
have been around long enough to at least make a living, and they have served 
their clients well; ahem, judging solely on the variety of sites presented in their 
portfolio and let's not get into coding semantics.

Too close for what? Competition? You are going to have some, pardon me - not 
some but a *lot* of competition with such a generic name. Googling on "plum 
creative" without the quotes gave me way too much info, like about 65,000 
results. Time to get plum creative ;-)
