The site is a small landscape design house with currently 5 Macs and

To date, they have survived with personal file sharing to access

Is it possible to wire the office? When dealing with large graphics files,
working over wireless is not ideal (to put it mildly).

That's litotes worthy of an Englishman. It's not reasonable to run a graphics house over a wireless network. Setting up a single machine to act as a server to hold all your files, and a wired network, will save you thousands of dollars of hassle over the course of just one year. You don't need to use an xServe, and you don't need to run the Server version of OS X on your server, but you do need a server and a reliable network.
