Website rebuilds for small businesses on the North Shore and around Boston
Better inquiries. A website you own.
Many small-business websites get built once and left alone, so they fall out of date while the business moves on. The site probably still has what it needs: the photos, the services, the way you describe your work. Reassembly rebuilds those pieces into a modern site that customers find easier to use and you find easier to run, for far less than a from-scratch build. You own the domain, the hosting account, and the files from the first day. To start, we send you a picture of your homepage, rebuilt, at no charge.
One site, rebuilt
The Kennek Foundation is a nonprofit that puts Trouble the Dog comfort toys in the hands of police, firefighters, and paramedics. Shown here: the page for its annual motorcycle ride fundraiser, before and after. Read how the whole site was rebuilt.
What we build
Every build covers the parts of a website that bring in work. We keep what already works on your current site: your wording where it's good, your hours, and your existing links, so search results still find you.
- 1.1
Inquiry and booking forms
The form asks for what you need to quote, book, or answer: the service, the timing, the location, the details. Each request arrives in your email, complete, with the customer's reply address attached.
- 1.2
A site that works on phones
Most of your customers find you on a phone. The site is plain, fast HTML with no plugins to update and nothing to break when a vendor changes its terms.
- 1.3
Your work, on display
A gallery of finished jobs, your products, or your space, with your own photos.
- 1.4
Custom tools, if you want them
Quote estimators, photo intake, and inquiry triage, built into your site. Any AI service a tool uses is billed directly to you, on your own account. See examples.
- 1.5
Private project sites
A password-protected site for one project, such as a home build, a wedding, or a shared family archive, taken on case by case. See examples.

More of our work
Beyond websites, we build web-based tools for one person doing one job, and private sites for one project and the people involved in it.
Private project sites
Tools and project sites are taken case by case and priced in a written proposal. The home build and wedding examples are shown with invented names, places, and figures.
Everything is in your name
Many small businesses lose their website when they part ways with the person who built it. The domain sits in someone else's account, and getting it back takes weeks. Reassembly works the other way. You open the accounts, and we work inside them.
| Item | Held | Owner |
|---|---|---|
| Your domain name | Registered in your name, paid with your card | You |
| Hosting account (Cloudflare) | Opened with your email and your two-step login | You |
| The site's files | Stored in your account, with a copy for your records | You |
| Customer inquiries | Delivered to your inbox, not ours | You |
| Passwords | Kept by you. We never ask for them. | You |
You add Reassembly to your hosting account as a member, so we can build and update the site without your password. You can remove us at any time. Nothing needs to move when you do.
