Little bit offtopic: recently every startup website I've seen here looks almost exactly the same, especially those with .io domain. Is there some kind of a template or technology that is being used to fastly develop those or is this just a trend?If it is could someone link to some resources about how to create those? Thanks.

I'd also ask about those videos—they tend to be quite neat. I wonder which studios do that (are there many?) and for how much approximately.

+1, does anyone know what software is primarily used to produce this kind of videos?

I asked a friend, he says they can be using Adobe After Effects (his preference) or Final Cut Pro. I was surprised, but apparently these tools are fit to do this kind of animation.

The narrative can be a more difficult part, unless the video involves much custom graphics (this one appears to do a decent job reusing a few primitives). By narrative I mean not just the voice, which I was told is often done by outsourcing to studios out there, but the script in general.

Just my 2 cents, maybe someone can give more info.
