I've used the Startup Framework Generator[1] for building this style of website. Highly recommended.

Oh wow, this is great. Thanks for sharing!

I would love to know this too. This one is exceptionally well designed, here is a site with some landing page templates that have some similar design themes: http://html5up.net/

I think it's more a design trend than a magical tool that creates sites like these. Look up flat, metro and material design if you are looking for a name.

It's to the point where I'm becoming embarrassed to release anything unless I spend a month doing graphic design on the launch page!

Most that you've seen are probably using bootstrap (http://getbootstrap.com). Though the only indication of bootstrap I'm seeing within this particular site is font-awesome loaded from the bootstrap cdn.
