The only spider I have seen like this was a common sight in Kimberley South Africa. We called it a button spider because its back look like a button. It was not a black widow and it was not orange and did not have the hourglass marking that is common with the black or brown widow - also called the button spider.
I think the spider you are referring to is a kite spider. check out this website

It carries the scientific names Eresus cinnaberinus and E. sandaliatus. It has white-striped black legs. Its fused head and thorax (prosoma) is black. Its abdomen-like rear (opisthosoma) is red, with 4 black dots.
There are a number of different spiders that could be described as black spiders with a red dot on their back including the Black Widow, the Australian Redback spider and the Jumping Spider.
Is it a smiley face crab spider? I usually go to www.bugguide.net for my bug questions. Just type yellow spider in the search and look through the pictures. Sounds like a garden spider. Non poisionous and has a zig zag white mark in its web.
My son just killed on just like that with Orange fangs and a hour glass on its body so everyone who answered stupid its true and out there
The "daring jumping spider"! Although they can jump quite well, they are harmless. They are found quite commonly in houses and prey on smaller insects.
