I hired Diana to design my website for my private practice (I am a psychologist), and I can’t adequately describe what a wonderful experience it was! First of all, the website itself is amazing. It is visually appealing and user friendly, chock full of all the necessary information while still retaining style and remaining interesting. Second of all — and maybe even more importantly — Diana made that website feel like ME. We worked very closely together, she she spent a lot of time with me to really get a sense of who I am and what I wanted to convey. She listened to me and took my opinions into consideration every step of the way, and yet she also gave me needed direction and useful suggestions. Diana is a consummate professional who brings her unique perspective and warm personality to all that she does. I give Seven Blocks Design my highest recommendation!!!

I had a wonderful experience working with Diana. She designed our school’s first online Annual Report from scratch, and I’ve received nothing but compliments since the site went live. The design is clean and streamlined (as we requested), easy to navigate and reflects our school’s aesthetic. Diana was friendly and flexible, bringing great ideas to the table while always respecting the client’s vision and goals. She was also very accessible and nailed deadlines. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.

I can’t say enough good things about Diana. I was asked to keep my company website up to date and Diana was hired to help show me the ropes when it comes to Wordpress. She was very patient and explained everything very well. I feel so confident that I can do a good job and it’s all thanks to her. I would HIGHLY recommend her and will contact her in the future if I need extra help!

Timm and Diana did a spectacular job designing a website for our company (which was not an easy task). Both were easy to work with, dedicated, thoughtful. great listeners and dedicated problems solvers. Felt like the right mix of creativity and common sense functionality. The entire process was a satisfying experience. I highly recommend

Great images benefit from great framing. When I needed a photographic web site, I turned to Diana Hobstetter to help me build it. She worked closely with me and was extremely responsive, always returning my calls and emails quickly. The
–is a sparkling, lively showcase for my work that receives a constant stream of visitors. Thanks, Diana!

I came across Seven Blocks Design on Unilocal after having searched for a web designer in the Santa Monica area, and I am so glad I did. Not only is Seven Blocks the most reasonably priced design firm, but you get to work one-​on-​one with Diana, which is amazing. Diana is an incredible creator and really has a passion for what she does. Throughout the whole process, she was so helpful and it was very obvious she truly cared about my site. Diana is a great communicator and really listens to what you want while adding a personal touch. She went out of her way to make sure my site would be user friendly and that it would be easy for me to update. I couldn’t be more pleased with my website and would definitely recommend using Seven Blocks Design to all.
Thanks, Diana!

Diana and Seven Blocks Design did a major overhaul of my Surf Academy website and DANG, I feel like a new business! We’d had the same theme for the last twelve years and the site did not reflect at all who we are today as a business and where we want to go. Diana took the time to meet with my business partner and me, find out about our values, and make us part of the re-​design process. In this day of internet and social media, I feel like we can be as competitive surfing the net as we are surfing the waves! I love Love LOVE our new site, I’m enjoying learning how to make live updates and announcements to our students and prospective clients, and most of all, I feel empowered by the entire process.
Diana is a great communicator, a diligent designer, and she always kept our values and goals in mind when creating our new site. I highly recommend Diana and Seven Blocks Design for your website needs!

Seven Blocks did an art-​collection website for a client of mine in New York. That collection was auctioned for $ 8.5 million at Sotheby’s less than a year later. Diana Hobstetter is not only artistic, but she produces a lot of results for the money you invest in her work. She is really, really good at talking with the client and understanding who they are and what the image is that they want to project. I also consider Seven Blocks to be in the top ranks at using social media, wordpress, Photoshop and all the other state-​of-​the-​art tools available for UX (user-​experience) and UI (user-​interface). Highly recommended.

«Diana Hobstetter has done wonders for the identity and presence of our dance company, Naked With Shoes, on the Internet. We now have a Facebook page with pictures, reviews, & videos. When we have a performance coming up, we can do a mass mailing and announcement without licking one stamp! She helped NWS create a Facebook page, YouTube channel, resume, and dance videos. Now when we are auditioning for something, or someone wants to know about our company, they can find samplings of our work online. Now, thanks to Diana Hobstetter, our company exists on the Worldwide Web.»
