Black widow
the yellow sac spider
It is possible that you are describing a Marbled Orbweaver spider, which is black with yellow or white markings. This spider can be found in North America and is not harmful to humans. It is important to observe from a safe distance.
The Orb-weaver spider is a fairly large garden spider found abundantly in Oklahoma. They can be identified by their black, white and yellow body and legs as well as the spiral or zipper-like arrangement of prey-catching threads in their webs.
The spider you are describing is likely a black widow spider (Latrodectus mactans). Female black widows have a distinctive red hourglass shape on their abdomen rather than a white heart shape, however. It's always best to exercise caution around any unfamiliar spider species.
The black and yellow garden spider is a black- and yellow-bodied spider whose back is marked with white. The arachnid in question may be found throughout Canada and the United States of America. It numbers among the most recognizable of garden arachnids.

If you in Northern Wisconsin it could be a typical Orange Garden spider. Orange legs with orange - white - brown - white - black tips. Orange head and thorax with a colorful Orange black, white and yellow in a pattern like a wasp on the abdomen.
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.
Yes, the black and white striped spider, also known as the zebra spider, is not poisonous to humans.
I love riddles!! What kind? i have caught a spider with those exact same markings... the white "spot" on top of it's abdomen looks more like a white heart, and i found this spider in my yard in Sacramento, CA.... from what i have learned this spider is a Daring (or Bold) Jumping Spider... harmless and non aggressive supossedly...
It's my understanding that the color of the markings on a black widow are by and large red, but can appear in yellow, orange, and white. I would regard that spider as a black widow for safety's sake.
