I'm sure it will help someone who knows more of what they are doing when it comes to spiders than I do :)

I added a close-up of the eyes in case that helps

Wolf spiders don't build webs, so assuming that is that spiders web, it's not a wolf spider. Being able to see the eye arrangement would tell you for sure. I'm thinking maybe a nursery web spider, Family Pisauridae? Not positive by any means
