A campaign to document and publicise the shortcoming, dangers and possible reforms of [_Aadhaar_][aa], India’s unique identification project. We came on board to help [the campaigners][team] translate their designs and ideas into a working website.

Given the nature of the project, we were working under tight contraints. Yet, given the nature of the project, we wanted to give the campaigners a fair amount of flexibiltiy in publishing different kinds of content. We decided to build the site on [Squarespace][ss] and achieve the flexibility by designing only a small number of key templates. We leveraged [Squarespace's Collections][collections] and taught the authors to use the powerful [Layout Engine][le]. Together, we were able to produce a site which [answers questions][1], [busts myths][2], higlights [citizen issues][3] and provides [ongoing updates][4].

Here's hoping [the authorities][uidai] take note, engage and improve the system.
