Tracks to Finish, Latest Design trends and Mobile Site

First of all I would like to ask questions about tracks.

My plan was that I'm going to finish Web Design, Front-End Development then WordPress Development and maybe Starting a Business tracks. Then I would think that I'm ready to build a website from scratch.

What are your thoughts on what tracks or courses should I finish before starting to build a responsive website for all devices?

Also shouldn't I already make some preparations. Right now I have finished Web design track and I'm in the middle of Front-End Development. My plan is that I'm going to finish all of these tracks as soon as possible without making any preparations. Wouldn't I be like forgetting and forcing myself to come back to these tracks when I haven't done any preparations for building a website from scratch. What do you think about that?

Lastly, I have question about making a separate sub-domain just for mobile sites. - m.example.com

It's because I want mobile devices to have a different theme or style than desktops and laptops.

What are pros and cons of having a separate sub-domain for mobile devices?

If I'm starting to build a new website, what kind of design should I go for. Full Width or Fixed width. My plan is to stick with the latest trends, so I would't have to update my website design so soon.

Notes: I'm trying to build a new web design for small company and I'm using WordPress to manage their content.

Overall, what do you recommend and why do you recommend that?

Sub domain for mobile device? Haven't seen that since the 90's :) with CSS, JS and building for mobile first you can have each device have a completely different look and feel CSS media queries is a good start ... If you can imagine it ... It can be done. Good luck

Sorry, but that wasn't what I was looking for.

You skipped many of my questions and didn't get into a detail, as I would have liked.
