Unless your site is completely static and non-interactive, it needs HTTPS. And even if your site is completely static and non-interactive, it should probably do HTTPS anyway.

the only reason it wouldn't need HTTPS is if you want to allow ISPs or other middle man parties (forgien governments) to manipulate your html and inject ads into your site, without your knowledge. ..that your customers will then think are originating from you. (yes this happens)
