Not sure if I understand exactly what you want to do, but if you want scalable menus, the only way I know how to do this is to use Flash. Everything (including the menus) should scale as the browser is resized.

You'd need to seperate the text from layout of the page, so yep, a database would do it. Or you could make it really tough on yourself and create duplicate pages, one for printing the other for online viewing.
Good luck!
