Hard to tell without a good look at the abdomen, but I think this is a barn spider. The bite isn’t bad for humans. They are very creepy cute when resting, they fold their legs up and become a kind of diamond shape.
Edit: It looks like both Neoscona crucifera and Araneus cavaticus are commonly called barn spiders. I linked to the first but the second is the namesake.

No need to apologize at all! I’m a novice spider lover so I’m constantly learning. I think Neoscona can be called a barn spider but it’s not THE barn spider. Confusing but nice to know.

The website you linked is dead
I could access the picture through my client. Maybe client specific dead?
OP seems to have fixed the link

Thanks, I updated it. Maybe it loads now?
That’s Neoscona crucifera, similar but not a barn spider.

Thanks, too. I didn’t realise Neoscona was also refered to as barn spider. I really should have known that.
I basically called you out for using the “wrong” common name, though the pictures were of the right spiders. Sorry about that.

Ok yeah that’s kinda cute, from a safe distance, like through my phone
