Windows has unveiled a new program, designed to bring more apps to Windows Phone devices. The Windows Phone App Studio is a web-based editor that will allow anyone to create and customize Windows Phone 8 apps without code.

Upon creating an account, new app developers can create both empty apps, or start with a template from a variety of categories including catalogs, storytelling and sports. Even users with free accounts can create applications via a simple four-step process that sees them uploading their own images, entering their own text and customizing the app’s overall style.

As reported by TechCrunch, the barrier of entry to app development has been lowered even further, as developer accounts have been discounted to $19 until August 26.
