I'm interested in learning how to make a proper PCB rather than perf board with wires all over the place.

I would recomment to try Kicad for this. It is free and should do just what you want.

Kicad is great. It also has a huge community behind it so there are plenty of tutorials and ways to get help

Yeah! I tried it years back, and it was not so good.

Fast forward to this month. I try it again and am really impressed! It's great now!

I was using it on client work within hours.

Second that. Did my own Keyboard design with it with zero preknowledge and available community resources.

Another vote for Kicad. I have done a small project with it and it worked perfectly.
