Hi Richard,
Some feedback for 2....
From a very quick look over I like the look of the site, and the overall design.
I would however try and pick out a few headlines/titles or the menu in the logo/background blue to try and tie it all together a bit more. I would also look splitting this image...

Into two, so on the left side a gif as more suitable for the text, and on the right a jpg for the image. Also with regards to that image I think its a bit too light/subtle, makes it hard to work out that its an image of a globe with your logo on? next to Africa?
Perhaps you could think about a more relevant image of something IT related and your logo on? I know its probably been a bit overdone, but a key from a keyboard with your logo on would have an instant association with your services.
Hope that helps in someway,
Greg
