According to a website that i just visited (the bug man??) this spider could be what is called a false black widow. I too had a question about this specific description of spider- as I recently found FOUR of them within three days in the same area in my house. According to the bug man, this spider actually eats black widows and something else called a sow bug. Hope this is helpful
There are many Spiders that fit this description....so specifics would be helpful. If I were to guessed based on what is most common, I would say either a Bold or Daring Jumping spider, a Parson Spider, or a spider that falls under the Genus Steatoda
Hmm, the description on the question is quite vague but here is something i found that resembles the description: Daring (aka Bold) Jumping spider. It has the white dot in the lower part of its body.

A crablike spiny orb weaver
its a type of wolf spider i would be scared of it because it is poisonous +It eats away like skin when it bites you or an animal i would go to a doctor if you or an animal gets bitten
It maybe the jumping spider.
There is a picture of a black spider with a white dot in the related link below, it may or may not be the right one.
If the spider that you saw also had bright green chelicerae (fangs), then you saw a jumping spider. I have found a picture of a Daring Jumping spider see related link..
a dotted spider (didn't you people know that)
a brown lacoorus.its a poisonous spider.
The spider that is black with a white crescent on its back is the Brown House Spider. This spider is often confused with the red-back spider.
WHAT KIND OF SPIDER IS A WHITE SPIDER WITH A BRIGHT ORANGE PATTERN ON ITS BACK
could be a male crab spider, or a writing spider.
I just caught a spider that matches this description. After looking online, I think it may be a jumping spider from the family Salticidae. I believe that spider is Phidippus Audax a.k.a the Bold Jumping Spider.

A RED BACK!!! bY THE WAY I WOULDN'T TOUCH IT!! THEY ARE REALLY DEADLY, ESPECIALLY THE BABY ONES!!! ^ i wouldn't pay attention to that If the red is on the belly then worry more, it the red is on the back its not a black widow, ive seen a bunch of spiders with a black body and white stripe, they are jumping spiders, the red button i don't know much about.
Spiderman
Could be the arrowhead spider.
The worst kind.
It's most likely the common "Daring jumping spider," Phidippus audax. It's completely harmless.
a garden spider
Phidippus audax
