Hello Siddharth for manufacturing your pcbs you can use pcbcart: http://www.pcbcart.com<http://www.pcbcart.com/?gclid=CN7alpf1trECFQpj3wodRH0AcA>
I got them to produce and solder 20 motes I designed in the university. Cheap and not so bad service for the price. They will always try to use similar components they have in stock instead of yours however. But they always ask before making any change in the bill of materials. If you want to design your own mote, you need of course some pcb layout editor to design your platform. I use Altium designer. A starting point could be to look at the schematics and layouts of some comercial platforms like telos or mica, this way you cant get the idea of what the platform hardware is normally composed of.
