</button>About Hexagon Power Button
Hexagon Power Button is a button built with gradient fills, transforms and layered shadows. Its stylesheet runs to 34 lines across 4 rules, declaring 21 distinct properties. It styles hover and active states explicitly, so the component responds to interaction rather than sitting still. Every format shown on this page is the same component, so you can take HTML, CSS and Tailwind depending on how your project is set up. Nothing is minified and nothing depends on a framework.
When to use
- Editorial layouts and portfolios, where the shape is doing deliberate work, where a hexagon and geometric button fits the surrounding design
- Repeated use across a page, since there is no animation to become tiring when several appear together
- Palettes built around blue, cyan and white, where this button can be dropped in without retheming
How it works
The base rule sets the shape with display, height, position and width. The fill is a gradient rather than a flat colour, so it is a single background declaration with no image to load. Movement is done with transforms rather than by changing position or size, which is what keeps it smooth: transforms are composited and do not force the browser to lay the page out again. State changes are eased with a transition, so hovering does not snap.
Accessibility
Built on a native <button> element, so keyboard focus and screen reader semantics work without extra attributes. No focus style is defined. Add one before shipping, or keyboard users lose track of position. That is one thing to fix before this ships in front of users.
Browser support
Complex clip-path shapes were unreliable before Safari 14.
