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

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.
