Now, there are a lot of options here. I've personally used [PCBWay](http://www.pcbway.com/setinvite.aspx?inviteid=25678) (referral link) to great success, but there are plenty of other cheap PCB prototyping services, such as [EasyEDA](https://easyeda.com/) and [DirtyPCBs](http://dirtypcbs.com/store/pcbs).

All of these services simply involve choosing some options for how your PCBs will be manufactuered (default settings are fine for all of them), then uploading the zip file you just created. If you want to change the color of your PCB, then the option you will want to look for is "solder mask color". The color of the text on your PCB will be "silkscreen color".

Thank you very much for your tutorial, it's really great. But I still have some questions. The first one is about adding a decoupling capacitor to the power supply VCC. How do you determine the number of 0.1uF capacitors needed? The second is that there is no mention of LED lights in your tutorial. QMK firmware supports LED lights. How to draw the schematic diagram of LEDs?

Hi there, this tutorial is fantastic! I have a question. Will the layout in your tutorial work for a full format keyboard too? Or will extra components be needed such as extra capacitors etc.?
