14 cool hexagon web design

I am showcasing 14 hexagon web designs as they have become more commonly seen. I am not sure what is the trigger for such a trend but it is definitely more widely used relative to last year.  The power of such a design is to convey a feel that is very modern and contemporary.  Moreover, they can be used to convey information in discrete boxes, thus allowing you to separate out your website efficiently using such a design.

That being said, using Hexagon web design is not a common design technique so there might be difficulties in using it if it is your first attempt at such a concept. To help you overcome this problem, here are 14 Hexagon web design inspiration that you can draw reference from.
