Network Design

I am trying to setup a small network office.. and I was hoping i get some suggestions and do's and don'ts..
The objective is to have 4 site locations communicate and exchange data through their custom MS Access datatase that is hosted via web.   any suggestions on the topology i should use, swithces, router?
The office, I am responsible is to setup three laptop users (consultants), two desktop users (admin assistants). Apparently, the office is not to big, only about 1200 sware feet but located on two separate floors.. :) i'm confused about that.. but ok. There is another floor just for meeting and greeting customers that is about 300 square feet with two offices need to have some type of wireless connection. I know i will need to implement a router, switch, cabling all the peripherals like the a color printer and scanner.. Does anyone have some suggestions to start with.. I did draw up a diagram but i was hoping to get some feedback to what is a good base .. equipment.. that is realtively cheap and i thought of star toplogy for this size but my co-workers had mentioned mesh is better which i thought was more expensive.. At any rate.. thoughts anyone"?
