What size screen will it be displayed on?

:-)

Start by building your site with tables so stuff in not willy nilly about on
the page. You may want to design for a viewport of 760px wide to get you
started...or you may want to tackle a fluid table (I call it a collapsing
table design). Try a fixed table width of 760px for now.

What do you mean by correct size? My screen resolution is 2560 x
1024. The correct size of a page for MY screen is 800 wide.

The order a web page loads is indeterminate. The browser will load
the HTML first into memory, scan it and then send requests for other
objects (images, JavaScript files, CSS files) in the order they appear
in the HTML. When these are rendered on the screen depends on how
simple the page layout is, how long it takes each object to download,
how many objects are downloading at the same time - the objects that
arrive first will be rendered first.
If you place very small (file size) objects at the top of your HTML,
and very large at the bottom, there is a good chance (no guarantees)
they will render in that order, whereas small at the bottom with large
at the top will probably not render topmost first.
 
For starters, knock your marquee width down from 1058 to about 750px and
resize (in your graphics editor) the picture of the headquarters building so
the width isn't past 750px. See if that helps.
