if you want to grow and add more entries to your site you may need a database backend in the future. Crawling through text files becomes pretty inefficient with a bigger amount of data. If you plan a redesign/rewrite i recommend a switch to a database backend - especially when your data is related to each other.

Maybe you should consider using a framework like Django (if you are familiar with Python). The builtin ORM saves you from database management and manual query creation.
