I apologize for my frustration but since moving to your theme we have went form a few hundred hits per day to 1-2 best case we also were moving 20-30 bins per week – our site has flat lined… The printing margin are off and and the client is not happy. the look and feel is good except for the plan text in the site builder that may be causing the lack of results. here is the site in question www.crystalbins.com
Suggestion to fix the issue would be help full since i don’t want to start again

Hi Hamish
Thanks for your apology, we appreciate it. Let’s hop on email, I’m working now. I’ll do my best to get these problems sorted ASAP. Can you mail me on [email protected]?
When you mail, please let me know:
Printing:
////////////////////
Which page users are printing from. Vantage doesn’t have a print stylesheet so I’ll need to see what I can do there. Perhaps it might be better to offer a prepared PDF of whatever is being printed.
URLS:
////////////////////
When you switched to Vantage did you change urls? Was there a change in the site’s permalink structure? If so, were the old urls 301 redirected to the new urls? That might explain a drop in traffic.
Slider:
////////////////////
Check out your last slide, it has exposed CSS:
CALL 416-667-0503″ style=”cursor:pointer”>
Perhaps take a look at that.
SEO and Page Builder / SEO in general:
////////////////////
I don’t believe Page Builder is the problem Your content is still rendered in the page source as it would be normally: http://crystalbins.com/bin-rental-specialist-in-toronto/.
Are you running WordPress SEO or another SEO plugin?
Have you setup WordPress SEO’s sitemap functionality?
Is the site registered with Google Webmaster Tools? If so, have you checked to see if there are any error reports there, they’ll let you know if there are crawl or other errors.
Did the design of the site drastically change? That won’t explain a drop in traffic but it can explain a drop in conversions.
Do you have analytics data from this time last year? Does the company normally experience a big drop at the end of the year. This can happen in some industries.
Perhaps you can see the direction I’m heading here. There isn’t something in Vantage’s code that’ll cause SEO issues but there can be a host of other things that can cause a drop in traffic.
