I am a little late to the party but have a look at this as it is the easiest PCB software I have ever used. Not free but very inexpensive:
I've made hundreds of layouts both hobby and professional with it. In a few hours with it you can make PCB layouts and components.
There is a free demo that does everything but save. Making 274-X gerbers and drill files are a breeze. You can also do toner transfer and CNC milled boards.
If it looks like something you would use join my SprintLayout group on groups.io. Definitely worth your time.
