Hosting a website in Dropbox
Obviously not the best thing to use if you're planning a serious website. But hey! Free shit, easy shit, is all good shit. Right?

Tough titty if you're an image whore.
You can cut down on images by using css3 for quite a few things including gradients, bullets, etc. This will help load issues a bit. No promises though. After all, this is Dropbox Hosting.
It's all pretty much basic old html / css type shit. But instead of linking your page HTMLs, images etc to a folder or internal server like you'd normally do. Your linking everything to a Dropbox url.
When you're all warm, fuzzy and shit with your Frankensteiner. Copy the url address for your HTML document. Share the link & profit.
Here's a Demo
