  Single-sided boards are easy to work with, just note that there will be
no capillary action of the solder flowing up into the hole to form a nice
bead on the top side of the board as happens with plated-through holes.
Solder parts on the bottom ("copper") side of the after pushing their
leads through from the top side much like multilayer board stuffing.
