lisa,
Having a unique website I think is important, but the first thought that comes to my mind is "Cool... wonder who did this for him?... Now let's see if the images are any good". I am very familiar with html and made a website that was all based on real objects that you interacted with. In the end it was all distracting and in the way of what I get paid to do.
This is just something to consider in your search for virtual objects.
