This little guy has resided outside our front door for several weeks. At first we thought wolf spider, but then learned that wolf spiders do not make webs. My wife has an app that says it is an orb weaver, and I have looked at many photos of that species, none matching this one.
The image is beneath the fold. Please enlighten me as to what it is. (It is about 1/2 inch in size.)

Cat Faced Spider. We called them barn spiders cause they were always around our barn doors and soffits.

Nailed it, you did. Others agree, but the web page you linked to has it exactly, even that this one is a female. Gotta show my wife tomorrow.
