Currently designing a website and need some opinions/comments, constructive if possible.
Im currently tied between two headers;
My First design:
http://www.emeraldsystems.co.uk/new/products.html
New Design:
http://www.emeraldsystems.co.uk/new/products2.html
any have any preference?
Im in two minds about the whole thing, im not sure if it looks dated or quite clean/modern?
Im kinda basing the colours on something similar to this: http://www.automation.siemens.com/w1/automation-technology-level-measurement-with-level-measuring-instruments-18693.htm
But I still feel its missing something, or doesnt look quite light enough...
any thoughts?

Newer one is much better. I think you'll need to spruce up the banner a little bit. Imo.

I was contemplating this, perhaps even a flash header with a very small amount of animation

I think it works, information is presented in a clean and straight to the point manner - which is good especially when you have archaic engineers trying to view the site Like the style of the new navbar over the old but you need to add some colour so perhaps JQuery (or mootools in you case ) in a simple mover fade with the turquoise colour. Also the current 'bold text' mouseover pushes the seperators around within the navbar.
Both designs are a huge improvement over the current site

Whittie has a point about header, although i'd keep it simple and just animate the logo perhaps either gif it (do it in flash and export it as a gif) or do a few simple fades using jquery/mootools (a swf is a bit OTT for that).
