In the newly created list, if we have to delete any column which is not useful, for eg., 'Company' column then you can you can do that in SharePoint Designer by selecting the newly created List and in the Summary page, you will be seeing a section called Customization, in which you will be finding 'Edit List Columns' and then select the column and click on Delete from the ribbon and save it. And the column will be deleted.

• And now go to Site Pages and click on Web Part Page and name it and click on it to go to that page. Now click on 'Edit File' link in 'Customization' section or Click on 'Edit File' in the ribbon and select 'Edit File in Normal Mode'. You will find only Content page editable which restricts you from breaking with the Master page. Now Click on 'Insert' from the ribbon, and then Data View and select the newly Created List initially in this list which will place a webpart in the newly created page using a webpart called Xslt List View webpart and then Save it.
