One a side note (from a developer's perspective) if you have two separate
sites, it is just going to take you twice the amount of time to maintain and
twice the amount of chance of error (updated page on main site but not the
secondary site etc.)

I honestly don't see why you would have a problem in developing a visually
pleasing site that is also steadfast accessible especially if you use the
right tools and plan ahead. With the majority of the browsers support for
and rendering of XHTML/CSS being stronger, you will be able to keep the
presentation separate from content pretty well which in turn allows you to
manipulate the visual side via CSS and create semantically correct content
which should transport well within both visual browsers and text based
browsers and readers.

HTH with giving you some other viewpoints on what you will face when and if
you choose two separate sites. And apologies for going a bit off topic on
your question.
