Can web designers reuse componets and still give full ownership to client?

I'm a web developer.

I have written common PHP scripts like contact forms and double opt-in systems that I customize for each client.

Can I grant each and every client total ownership via "Work made for hire" under US copyright law?

Or do I no longer have the right to use it again after I've sold one website (containing the script) as "Work made for hire"?

Answers:
This document is all about "work-for-hire":

Of course, since it is written by the government, it will refer to other documents, sometimes citing the document, other times telling you to reference to another document.

I would also read up on authorship, distribution, etc.
