# Starting points Each new Nosto account comes with three base recommendation templates to customize. ## Default The `Default` template has the following features: * Recommended products in a grid * Alternate image on hover * Ribbons for new, most viewed, and top-selling products * Highlighting of discounts * Add to cart functionality ## Carousel The `Carousel` template extends the base template with a `Swiper`-based carousel to cycle between the recommended products.\ The library dependency is loaded via a script module, but a locally available version of the library can be used as well. * Carousel implementation via Swiper * Swiper is loaded via CDN URL into script module scope * Swiper default styles are injected into the DOM * Navigation module is loaded, and navigation buttons are provided in the DOM * Basic mobile breakpoints are provided ## Swatches The `Swatches` template extends the base template with SKU selection-aware product cards with swatches for color and size selection. * Color and size swatch rendering * `Product` and `SkuOptions` web components to maintain swatch selection state and abstract the add-to-cart logic away * Web components library is loaded via CDN URL into script module scope * Product image is updated based on color swatch selection * Add to cart button becomes visible when color and size values have been chosen --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
