I have used ExpressPCB and the free layout software on two projects. The
layout software is for Windows and does double sided boards only. This
software emails the design to ExpressPCB so it is not general purpose.
If a two layer board will meet your needs I recommend ExpressPCB. Their
service is fast and the software is easy to use.

Two 10 by 10 boards with no solder mask are +ACQ-230 (+ACQ-70 setup, +ACQ-80 per board)
with a 3 day delivery.
Two 10 by 10 boards with silk screen and solder mask are +ACQ-370 (+ACQ-310 setup,
+ACQ-27 per board) with a 10 day delivery
Boards up to 5.25 by 4 with silk screen and solder mask are +ACQ-229 for 5
boards.
The company also offers a full featured PCB board production service. Your
boards are actually manufactured here.

I have access to commercial grade design software (PADS PowerPCB) but it is
very difficult to get up to speed on the full featured software if you are
doing one design a year. If you mess up on producing your output files your
boards are junk. It is difficult to make operator errors in the ExpressPCB
software. (You can still route the trace to the wrong pin.)
