I'm not particularly fond of spiders myself, and the ones that hang out by the front door are pretty large. I've found two solutions to the problem. If I'm planning to open the door after dark, either to leave or to return from having gone out during the daytime, I turn on the porch light. That seems to send them away after a few minutes most of the time.
The other solution is much more reliable but harder to accomplish sometimes, which is to have Lyonesse move them away for me :-)
