You may say that normal website designs are accessible on mobile devices and you would be right but non-mobile sites are difficult to access from mobile devices. They are generally rich in content, usually including flash and video content, and do not render correctly on a mobile platform.
By not making available a mobile version of your site you take the risk of giving potential customers a poor user experience and this usually results in losing the customer to a competitor.
You also need to know that Mobile Search is for Mobile Sites, this means that when searching on a mobile device the query accesses a separate index maintained for mobile content. As there is less competition within this field there is a far better chance of ranking higher for search terms than within normal organic search should you create a mobile presence for your website.
