I took a look at your source code, omg does dreamweaver make some ugly css! And the meta tag in the header technically doesn't follow xhtml standards. Here, let me help you with that.
Lots of absolute positioning, setting z-index, and referencing gif images I don't even see in the design, it's all unnecessary junk making very unmanagable code. It's pretty bad when looking at the source I can't even figure out where the background image was set.
Your index.htm and home.css files made a total of 22.3KB. I rewrote your index page (embedded the CSS in the header) and the total size was only 4.6KB. The new page looks identical to yours but uses 1/5 the code. I'm not saying anything bad about you, afterall you did say you used an editor. I'm just pointing out how inefficient wysiwyg editors can be.
