Iam no proffesionel, the costs dont care me, because iam using only freeware
tools
or doing it by myself (creating XML files etc.)

Thats a good Question! Iam thinking XML Technology is better. But iam not
sure :)
I think i will use XML, because i can make changes faster than with a mySQL
database.
In a mySQL database i write first a query, in a XML file I can make change
fast by hand.

I disagree, I think languages like this (and PHP) will be used a long time.
