I had no problem loading these sites.
The first: The design on the first is nice. I like that you included the color theme in your text. The only concern regarding the design is, I'm not sure how I feel about the orange and red combo. Those two colors just aren't in exact harmony.
The second: I really like how you break up the page with the gray; however I do not like the 1 px white stroke you added. It's very subtle but actually makes too many things go on... you have the bevel, gradient, text and other table lines in the menu. I would remove that white line from both gray bars... it's too much and doesn't add to the aesthetics. Other than that, the way you sliced up the page is very pragmatic and attractive!
