A custom look and feel unique to your site will, of course, require making a custom theme but if you're good with CSS that won't require much if any PHP either. The payoff for the initial learning curve is a system that will scale and grow with you and your business almost indefinitely. The community around it is also extremely supportive and there's a plethora of options for commercial development and support as well if you are so inclined.
