Check out the CSS Zen Garden at www.zengarden.com . There are dozens
of
beautiful and accessible web designs on this site. When you construct
your site using CSS, separating presentation from content, there is no
need for two sites.

Another caution in developing a separate version is that many times
the
separate version is developed for screen reader users. This is not the
only
disability community who use the web. So a separate "accessible" site
might
not be truly accessible, it could end up just being a screen reader
version.
The site might still be inaccessible for other audiences.
A resource which might help, especially if you need to justify your
decision
*not* to maintain two sites, is "Myth: Just Add a Text-Only Version"
in
"Understanding Web Accessibility" in the book "Constructing Accessible
Websites."
