From a developers point of view I would say always think SEO when building any site which will be seen and indexed by the search engines.


Semantically Correct HTML
H1. H2, H3, P tags are your friends, use them well
Only 1 H1 per page and not the company logo or name
Rewrite your URLs so they don't use query strings
Page title = H1 (well the the H1 keywords)
Alt tags
Label attributes for forms
Watch your URL case. I don't care that IIS allows mixed case mypage.aspx, MyPage.aspx, and MYPAGE.aspx will all be seen by Google as different pages to fix this use the canonical URL meta tag.


The vast majority of SEO is done by the selection of keywords and writing the copy properly. As a developer you don't have to worry about this, your job is to give the copy its best chance of working possible.
