Yup, I'm a 'normie' and I just sent my third project this week to JLCPCB. Paid less than 100USD for PCB production, assembly, and shipping. After a few back and forths on a given board to iron out any kinks, I have a set of design files they (or anyone) can produce in any quantity for a reasonable price. The hardest part for me now is mass-producing custom enclosures... I can design an enclosure and get it 3D printed easily enough, but I often stumble trying to make it ready for injection molding (geometry is usually too complex... and draft angles...) I've found a happy medium by using off-the-shelf enclosures and following the manufacturer's guidelines for how to fit the PCB inside. But sometimes you need something a little smaller/cheaper/blue-er... I used to teach a "Transform your Arduino Prototype into a Mass-Market Product" workshop :) I suggest starting with creating a PCB https://learn.adafruit.com/making-pcbs-with-oshpark-and-eagle https://learn.adafruit.com/making-pcbs-with-oshpark-and-eagl... .
