N2 CMS is more of a platform for building a CMS rather than a fully featured CMS in it’s own right. There is though, an example implementation to get you started. I would think that that Composite C1 or Orchard is likely to give you a quicker start at building a small business website if you’re starting from scratch. However I think N2 be of use if you ever need to build CMS function into an existing site (but this would be quite difficult with the other two I’ve mentioned).
Edit:
C1 and Orchard also seem to be under more active development than N2 which doesn’t appear to have had any new releases since early 2011.
You can install C1 and Orchard pretty easily from Microsoft’s Web Platform Installer. With C1, choose the Omnicorp demo site to see a sample deployment with a few pages already created as this will be the quickest way to evaluate it. Installing from the WPI is probably a faster approach than installing it from source for the purposes of evaluation.
