Hey everyone, I have came up with a company name 'pixel perfect' or 'pixel perfection'. The only trouble these domain names arn't available. I've tried them with a '-' in between but still no luck.

Any other ideas?

pixelperfecto.co.uk
pixelperfecto.net

"pixel perfection" is pretty much all taken already tbh.. the above two seem OK. .com is taken though..

Have you checked to see if the company name is available in your area? That's a VERY commonly used term amongst designers and I'm pretty sure I've heard a few people trying to use that. Might want to think of something else to set yourself apart from the crowd and/or avoid a potential lawsuit if it is taken.

I can see what you were thinking with 'that web design company' but i think 'the creative den' is a much better name to build your brand on.

Since, most of the domains are not available you can search for a long-term domain name which are more advantageous for your business. Nowadays, people are using long-tail keywords to get the most relevant search results for their queries. Find a domain name in which at least your one targeted keyword will fit.

You can use the Companies House Webcheck service to see if a company name has been registered...

http://wck2.companieshouse.gov.uk/

I should tell you that creative den limited, pixel perfect ltd and pixel perfection ltd all exist as registered companies in the UK.

If you do decide to use any of these names you do so at the risk of being sued for 'passing off' or 'misrepresentation' through the courts.
