Mugs is a hard one as you can't use 3d mug template if your just doing left and right of mug you could take high resolution image of mug.
Only problem you would only be able to use square template and not the rounded top and bottom.
Yeah I run both websites I started the engraving business when I had the sign shop in Chester Le street
Get a bit to much some days and my wife is having our first baby I'm 8 weeks so we be busy then lol

I was either till I started using opencart but it's easy to learn and Google is great for help so is the opencart forum.
Yeah opencart is free I'm still using version 1.5.51as not had a chance to play with the new version 2.0
You could create a folder on your sever and call it say shop and upload all opencart files and have a play with it
There's lots of free and paid themes and extensions available
