When Laima Tazmin was seven, she discovered an HTML book and taught herself how to build web sites.  Laima turned this interest into a viable business when she took a National Foundation for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE) course at the Mott Hall School, while in the sixth grade.   With the encouragement of the instructor, Laima started LAVT, a web-site development company, in New York City.

“Most web site hosting and development companies cater to established businesses and often sacrifice good design and aesthetics for the latest special effects,” says Laima.  “In my web designs, I try to give site visitors a sense of the beautiful by combining natural and energetic colors with textures that engage all the senses.”

Laima hopes to expand her business to offer online games and software, including a role-playing game for teens in simulated, real-life scenarios.
