Heres some other resources that I have:

https://www.ecad.io (allows to easily create 3D model of your PCB and export to CAD easy)

https://circuithub.com (for component footprints/Libraries)


This is what Ive started using for my Kicad libraries
https://github.com/cpavlina/kicad-schlib
https://github.com/cpavlina/kicad-pcblib IPC standard footprints for Kicad

another resource really great blog for PCB design and layout, has lots of tips. Main software they use is Altium, but a lot can be carried across to other EDA

Ah, a most opportune post there Stephen. I just figured out how to specify different KiCAD track widths, via the PCBNew | Design Rules | Design Rules form.

Then read up on PCB Design Tutorial and from your link above, I found this: http://www.fedevel.com/welldoneblog/2016/07/pcb-layout-typical-track-via-geometry/
