You need to use the CSS method that BigAl mentioned above. Dreamweaver outputs some appalling code and the most noticeable of these is the preloaded images.
You have some very large images in there which add up to a 312 kB download size which is way too big for a site that simple. If you combine some of your images into a single image and use CSS to display different parts of the image in different places on your page, you can shrink your download size quite considerably. In particular, it would be common to do this with all of your header images, and you would typically use a PNG or maybe a GIF file for that so you don't have JPEG compression errors in your menu text.
