Thanks for the responses Kevin and Rafael. The two systems don't need to be coupled aside from maybe a shared look and feel in the header/footer.
I am looking to do something like what Rafael suggested although it would be so sweet if there was something a little cleaner and less hacked upon than WordPress that was also installable in heroku -- even if heroku forced me to do it as a separate app with it's own dynos that would still be nicer than two separate hosting platforms. The things I want to be able to do are some static pages and a blog. Nothing all that special. But it is stuff that the client will want to control so I don't want to roll my own CMS features.
