ESP8266 ESP12-E Development Board

I'm currently working on ESP8266 Wifi Module. I'm starting with the PCB design. Since its a home made i'm going on with single side pcb. You could google your self on making home made pcbs.
I have made it two boards one as development kind of board and another one is shield sort of board small which sits on the dev board. The purpose of having a shield kind of layout is to have different types of esp8266 modules to be worked on the same board. Currently i'm starting with esp-12e module for the breakup shield. Will keep you updated on the progress...

Below are the images of my board.
